New York Weight Loss Supplement Law Has Stakeholders Scrambling But Faces Legal Challenges

On October 25, 2023, New York enacted GBL 391-oo, which bans the sale of over-the-counter diet pills and dietary supplements intended for weight loss and muscle building to individuals under the age of 18. Covered products include diet pills and dietary supplements that are “labeled, marketed or otherwise represented for the purpose of achieving weight loss or muscle building.” The law requires retailers, both physical stores and online vendors, to verify the age of individuals prior to sale or at the point of delivery. At present, the law is set to take effect on April 22, 2024. https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/ad-law-access/new-york-weight-loss-supplement-law-has-stakeholders-scrambling-but-faces-legal-challenges Kristi Wolff kwolff@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8805 https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/kristi-l-wolff Salim Rashid srashid@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8473 https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/salim-rashid Subscribe to the Ad Law Access blog - www.kelleydrye.com/subscribe Subscribe to the Ad Law News Newsletter - www.kelleydrye.com/subscribe View the Advertising and Privacy Law Resource Center - www.kelleydrye.com/advertising-and-privacy-law Find all of our links here linktr.ee/KelleyDryeAdLaw Hosted by Simone Roach
