Warning Letters for CBD Products Making Fraudulent COVID-19 Claims As part of the FDA's effort to protect consumers, the agency issued warning letters jointly with the Federal Trade Commission to seven companies for selling CBD products using research studies to claim or imply misleadingly that their CBD products will cure, mitigate, treat or prevent COVID-19. Consumers concerned about COVID-19 should consult with their health care provider. The companies that received warning letters are: The FDA has not approved or authorized any drug containing CBD for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19. The agency is concerned these deceptive and misleading product claims could cause people to delay or stop appropriate medical treatment for COVID-19, leading to serious and life-threatening harm.
