Additional business information
On October 16th, 2020 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sent this company a letter stating that after reviewing the company's websites and social media sites, they have determined that the company is unlawfully advertising that certain products or services treat or prevent COVID-19.
According to the FTC, It is unlawful under the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 41 et seq., to advertise that a product or service can prevent, treat, or cure human disease unless you possess competent and reliable scientific evidence, including, when appropriate, well-controlled human clinical studies, substantiating that the claims are true at the time they are made. For COVID-19, no such study is currently known to exist for the products or services identified above. Thus,any coronavirus-related prevention or treatment claims regarding such product or service are not supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence. You must immediately cease making all such claims.
The letter asked the company to review all other claims made that are not supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence and to notify the FTC regarding specific actions they plan to take to address FTC's concerns.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
