FTC Settles With DermaTend, DERMAdoctor Firms For Unsupported Claims

摘要

FTC's recent settlements with two companies for making false or unsubstantiated claims to promote their skin-care and weight-loss products serve as a reminder to firms to scrutinize their own claims and ensure they are backed by appropriate levels of scientific evidence. The actions reflect FTC's stated enforcement focus on deceptive health claims and improper disclosures, which will continue to be priorities in 2015 ("FTC Prioritizes Health Claims, Disclosures Enforcement In Coming Year" -"The Rose Sheet," Oct. 6, 2014).
