§ 111440 Misbranded Drug Device Prohibition

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't make, sell, or even have a medicine or medical tool if it has the wrong label.
  • •The label must tell the truth about what it is and what it does.
  • •If the label is wrong or missing important info, it's against the law.

Example

A company sells a bottle of pills that says it cures headaches, but the bottle doesn't list any ingredients or warnings.

This is against the law because the label is missing important information. The company could get in trouble for selling something with the wrong label.
