Nature's Inventory All Natural Wellness Oil

[Guest guest]

Since 2004 (IIRC) when FDA lawyers sued the FDA (yes, they did!) it is

possible to make claims as long as you include this disclaimer. You'll

see it on all the products in a health food store, on the label, and

on websites:

U.S., you simply can't make any claims. Once you do you are now

marketing a " drug. " The Federal Trade Commission offers very clear

and concise language in regards to this use of words like;

antibacterial, antiviral, anti fungal, antimicrobial and so on. Quite

Thank you for the information but you still cannot make any claims. Once you do

you are now marketing a " drug. " The Federal Trade Commission

offers very clear and concise language in regards to this use of words

like; antibacterial, antiviral, anti fungal, antimicrobial and so on.

Quite frankly, you just don't go there! This is precisely what has given

Aromatherapy in the US a very bad rap.

 

As a supplier and

consultant to manufacturers of all types, I have this issue with

clients all the time. Well meaning social entrepreneurs want to save

the world with essential oils but miss the bigger picture when marketing their

products irresponsibly. With all of the issue we are facing with Codex and the

FDA Globalization Act it's best to error on the side of caution.

 

By the way, the manufacturer of Airborne tablets is being sued for 30 million

dollars for making claims that they could not back up.
