Fraudulent Medical Advertising In California
Medical companies are required to accurately advertise to consumers. They can certainly stress the benefits of their products, but they cannot make fraudulent or knowingly false claims. For example, this is sometimes a problem with herbal supplements and dietary supplements, which may claim to be able to produce miraculous and unreasonable results, leading to allegations of fraudulent medical advertising in California.
Not only is fraudulent advertising illegal, but it can cause serious harm, which is when you may need to schedule a consultation with Tiedt & Hurd. I am attorney John E. Tiedt, and I have strong connections to this region, having graduated with honors from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.

How To Spot Fraudulent Advertising
Once you know what to look for, you may be able to spot fraudulent medical advertising in advance. Some examples include:
- A company that tells you that a singular product can be used for a wide range of health conditions.
- A company that promises results that seem too good to be true, such as overnight results or miraculous results.
- Companies that make claims and promises about herbal supplements, such as saying that they can cure diseases when they may actually only treat the symptoms – if that.
- Companies that use pseudoscientific language and try to get you to listen to them rather than your doctor or your medical team.
Additionally, fraudulent advertising may include claiming that certain dietary supplements do not have any negative side effects – when the reality is that some of these side effects can be worse than the conditions they are supposed to treat.
