I saw that.
Does this from their site scare anyone else?
"Moisturizing Aloe Lotion: Botanicals, anti-oxidants and skin protectants for your summertime. Natural aloe will shield 70% of the burning rays, while allowing 90% of the tanning rays to tan the skin. No sunscreen in this product."

Aloe will NOT shield from any sun rays. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm a little surprised they got caught, bit glad. I hate when people prey on gullibility. Although, they may be equally gullible...

Wow, those are such obviously incorrect claims though. The company should have known better than to put that stuff, that isn't even questionable that it is false.
I don't feel safe making any claims really b/c of things like this. All I feel comfortable saying is that my lotion feels good, end of story.
Wonder what the punishment is. They just have to fix it or else?

It doesn't quite seem fair that you can make all the wild and crazy claims that you want and when you do get caught you just get a warning.
I guess makes me not as worried for my own sake, that the worst that could happen if I label something wrong accidentally is get a warning and then fix it. I figured they would fine you right away.

I think they should fine people who are making claims that could cause harm to people, like the above mentioned. Something like "moisturizing" where it shouldn't be should get a warning.

I'm with you guys on not giving warnings, I think they should whip them with a wet noodle and one heck of a fine.

I am glad to see that the FDA is out there! I wonder how large of a company this was. I think they should have to contact all of their customers and recind the claims.
