1) Should horses be banned from human consumption in California? I don't find the concept of eating horses appetizing, but morally speaking, is there any difference between eating say a cow or a goat instead of a horse or donkey? Why should one be legal and the other is not?
2) At a casual glance, this feels much more like an FDA or FTC issue than an Amazon flaw. Even if nutritional supplements are less loosely regulated than regular medications, this supplement advertising itself as "100 percent pure, natural herbs" seems to be misleading enough to warrant some scrutiny from the government solely on this basis. Is Amazon supposed to be the one with the expertise to determine if a supplement is legal or not if the manufacturer is making an arguable false health claim? Is Amazon supposed to be the government now?
- outintheboonies 4y agoNote sure it's misleading, though. > online retailer had vetted the bottle’s claims of being made from “100 percent pure, natural herbs.” It sounds like the claim is that the herbs used are 100% pure and natural whereas it says nothing about the presence of other ingredients if any.
- logicalmonster 4y agoI believe that the FTC has said many times that a claim in advertising can be true, but misleading at the same time, depending on the way it's presented. Search for terms like "Truth In Advertising" or "Deceptive Advertising". All of this said, I think either the FDA or FTC should probably have a role here and IMO it's not Amazon's job to judge advertising claims.
