§ 111390 Misleading Drug Containers

Key Takeaways

  • •A medicine or medical tool is misbranded if its container is misleading.
  • •The container should not trick people about what's inside.
  • •This rule helps make sure people know what they're buying.

Example

You buy a bottle of pills, but the bottle is half empty even though it looks full.

This is misleading because the container makes you think there are more pills than there really are. This is not allowed.
