During his presentation, Rothbard stressed the need for advertisements and product claims to be truthful and well-substantiated, and emphasized that ingredient manufacturers and suppliers can be liable for facilitating deceptive consumer advertising by their trade customers. To underscore his point, he referred to a $3.5 million settlement the FTC recently obtained against Applied Sciences, a dietary supplement ingredient manufacturer that was accused of supplying false information to its trade customers to use in promoting Applied Sciences'' products. Addressing his audience, Rothbard emphasized the need to rely on competent and reliable scientific evidence, including controlled human clinical studies, rather than customer anecdotes, subjective consumer surveys, and manufacturer''s sales literature, to substantiate ingredient claims.
offered valuable advice on the need to prepare and act according to the FTC''s latest compliance actions and guidance. One of the important tips he offered was to have at least one controlled human clinical study to strengthen manufacturers'' efficacy and safety claims, especially on products that contain multi-ingredient formulas. Finally, to help supplement suppliers "survive in a hyper-aggressive regulatory environment", Rothbard explained the value of having expert counsel who understands FTC thinking and enforcement strategies to avoid the legal and financial consequences of becoming an FTC target.
