Kennyhertz Perry’s Jon Dedon Featured in Article Discussing CBD and their Marketing Claims
Jon Dedon is quoted in an WWD Digital Daily article, discussing how brands selling CBD can and cannot market their product and it’s potential health benefits. On November 25th, the FDA issued warning letters to 15 CBD companies who had marketed their product to alleviate various illnesses or chronic conditions. Health claims such as this, are not meant to be made without the FDA’s approval.
“Based on the agency’s safety warnings so far, it’s risky to market CBD products as dietary supplements, or to add it to human or animal food or drink products, or make health-related claims about it, attorneys said. “It’s an interesting category because federal regulatory authority over cosmetics is a complex area,” said Jon Dedon, attorney at Kennyhertz Perry.”
