Ad Review
BBB promotes truth in advertising by contacting advertisers whose claims conflict with the BBB Code of Advertising. These claims may come to our attention from our internal review of advertising, consumer complaints and competitor challenges. BBB asks advertisers to prove their claims, change ads to make offers more clear to consumers, and remove misleading or deceptive statements.
On June 17, 2022, BBB contacted OhmGnomes regarding an advertised claim for CBD products on their website https://ohmgnomesbotanicals.com.
Specifically, BBB requested OhmGnomes to substantiate or discontinue an advertisement on their website regarding the potential benefits from CBD products, which states, “Delta 8 is an analogue of THC much like the classic Delta 9 THC. Delta 8 THC is a naturally occurring compound in Hemp that impart a gentle, DEEP relaxation & a pleasant mind alteration. Delta 8 has been shown to have antiemetic, anxiolytic, appetite-Stimulating, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties by the National Cancer Institute.”
BBB Code of Advertising states: The primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast. Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB.
BBB Code of Advertising also states claims relating to performance, energy savings, safety, efficacy, or results for a product or service should be based on recent and competent testing or other objective data.
BBB requested OhmGnomes to provide evidence from recent, reliable, and competent studies or other objective data which may include scientific findings, FDA approvals, clinical studies, or other objective data to substantiate the claim or discontinue the advertised claim to address BBB’s concern.
