The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken action against a California-based company, Pico IV, for marketing an injectable hemp CBD product that it deemed illegal. The FDA’s warning, sent on March 6, 2021, labels the product as an “unapproved new drug” that violates federal law and warns of potential risks of serious harm to patients. This move highlights ongoing regulatory challenges within the cannabis industry, particularly concerning the sales and marketing of cannabidiol (CBD) products. Other firms have also faced scrutiny from the FDA for similar violations, emphasizing the need for clear regulations in this emerging market.
