§ 110395 False Food And Drug Ads

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't make, sell, or even hold onto food, medicine, or makeup if you lie about what it is or what it does.
  • •This means no fake labels, no fake promises, and no tricks to make people buy it.
  • •If you do this, you're breaking the law.

Example

A company sells a drink and says it can cure the flu, but it's just juice with no medicine in it.

This is against the law because they lied about what the drink can do. They can't sell it or even have it if they're planning to trick people.
