Bayer AG’s U.S. subsidiary won a lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission when a U.S. judge ruled the agency failed to prove its claims that the company made misleading statements about a dietary supplement that seeks to promote digestive health.
U.S. District Judge Jose Linares ruled Friday on an FTC lawsuit seeking potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in damages over the marketing of Phillips Colon Health. The FTC claimed that Bayer was in contempt of court relating to a 2007 consent decree over the marketing of a dietary supplement that covered all future products.
