CBD Supplement Label, Claim Violations Form Perfect Storm For Class Actions

摘要

A wave of cannabinoid and hemp dietary supplements and the absence of standards for describing the products are creating a perfect storm for class action suits, suggests food and drug attorney Justin Prochnow. Discussing hemp and CBD products at the Natural Products Expo East trade show in Baltimore on 11 September, Prochnow advised marketers in the space to tread carefully with claims and to review packaging details, including product and ingredi- ent weights and dietary Supplement Facts labels. While violative claims such as treating a disease perhaps are more noticeable, noncompliance with Food and Drug Administration regulations for label content and formatting also will attract scrutiny. “Believe it, people are looking at your label,” he said.
