FDA false-advertising dispute
The FDA seized Nutrilite shipments after alleging that promotional literature distributed with the products made false claims that the supplements could cure diseases. The distributor challenged the action, but the Supreme Court upheld the seizure in 1950; the broader dispute was resolved in the FDA’s favor during the 1960s.
