The FTC claimed Xlear's advertisements misrepresented scientific studies and made unsupported health claims. Although the Trump administration sought to dismiss the case, Xlear aims to challenge the FTC’s authority over health claims in court. This situation unfolds amid a climate of shifting government policies and controversies regarding public health messaging.
