Episode 8: Advertising COVID-19-Related Products: The Myths, the Crackdown, the Hard Science

More than a year after the COVID-19 pandemic forced a global lockdown, COVID-19 continues to dominate the news and our lives in a way that was unthinkable prior to March 2020. In this episode of Perfect Balance: An Advertising Law Podcast, host Po Yi is joined by Manatt advertising partner Jeff Edelstein and Manatt Health managing director Sandy Robinson for a discussion about the advertising of COVID-19-related products, particularly in view of the new COVID-19 Consumer Protection Act and the FTC’s recent crackdown on false COVID-19-related claims, as well as the truth about verified vaccines and treatments in the market and the legitimate process through which those are vetted and approved.
