FTC Commissioners Uphold Bar on POM Wonderful's Health Claims | Practical Law
The FTC recently upheld an Administrative Law Judge's decision that the makers of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice products deceptively advertised their products by making unsubstantiated health and disease claims. The final order requires POM's future disease-related claims to be backed by two randomized, controlled human clinical trials and imposes individual liability on POM's officers who were personally involved in the company's marketing campaign.
