The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced a âlaw enforcement crackdownâ on deceptively marketed CBD products on Thursday. As part of the action, the FTC filed litigation against six companies which sell products containing CBD with claims that they made unsupported marketing claims about the productsâ ability to treat various health conditions.Â
The FTC said it was hoping to send a message to the CBD industry that they should not make claims which are not medically supported, and that if they do, they could face consequences from the FTC. The effort, known as âOperation CBDeceitâ is reportedly just a part of the FTCâs efforts to protect consumers against misleading health claims in advertising and on websites.Â
