What piece of legislation prohibited the use of drug labels containing false therapeutic claims in-tended to defraud the purchaser?
a. Harrison Narcotic Act
b. Sherley Amendment
c. Durham-Humphrey Amendment
d. Kefauver-Harris Amendment
ANS: B
Choice B is correct. The Supreme Court had ruled in 1911, in United States v. Johnson, that the 1906 Food and Drug Act did not prohibit false therapeutic claims, but only false and misleading statements about the ingredients or identity of a drug. In 1912, Congress went further and en-acted the Sherley Amendment to prohibit drug labels containing false therapeutic claims intend-ed to defraud the purchaser.
