Letter to the FTC Regarding the HealthFair’s Advertising of Its Cardiovascular Disease Screening Packages
Public Citizen urges the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate the direct-to-consumer advertising and promotional activities of the cardiovascular disease screening company HealthFair. The company’s advertising materials make unsubstantiated claims about the medical benefits of its screening packages and omit information about the risks of adverse health-related outcomes and financial harms that may result from the screenings.
