§ 111425 Drug Device Licensing Requirement

• •If a medicine or medical tool is made in California, the place that makes it must have a proper license.
• •If the place doesn’t have a license, the medicine or tool is considered 'misbranded' (which means it’s not allowed to be sold).
• •This rule helps make sure medicines and medical tools are made safely.

A small company in California makes bandages but doesn’t have the right license from the state.

Because the company doesn’t have a license, the bandages they make are 'misbranded' and can’t be sold legally. The state can stop them from selling until they get the right license.
