Michael H. Cohen: FDA and FTC Legal Issues in Online Ventures

One of my clients recently copied their website wholesale from a company that had FDA approval for their medical device. Interestingly, it wasn’t the FDA that came after my client, it was the State Attorney General, for false and deceptive advertising. My client would have saved a lot of money had she gotten legal review before the enforcement disaster happened.

That’s why I sometimes say don’t roll the dice, get legal advice.

It’s true. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Get legal review before committing yourself to a website that’s going to go out and be broadcast to the whole world.
