TINA’s Take: Made in USA Executive Order Targets Online Marketplaces
Order puts platforms like Amazon and Walmart on notice.
In April 2020, a class-action lawsuit was filed against E.T. Browne Drug Company for allegedly falsely marketing that Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula products for stretch marks – including massage lotion, tummy butter, and massage cream – “help[] reduce the appearance of stretch marks” when, according to the complaint, scientific evidence shows the products do not provide the advertised benefits. (Booker et al v. E.T. Browne Drug Co., Inc., Case No. 20-cv-3166, S.D.N.Y.)
Order puts platforms like Amazon and Walmart on notice.
Advertised “best deal ever” comes with some caveats.
