  • The FTC Vs. POM Wonderful
    Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative University of New Mexico http://danielsethics.mgt.unm.edu Debate The FTC vs. POM Wonderful ISSUE: Does the Federal Trade Commission’s verdict on POM Wonderful’s advertising protect consumers or limit the company’s First Amendment rights? POM Wonderful, owned by philanthropists Lynda and Stewart Resnick, sells products made from pomegranate juice. Their product lines include juice, juice blends, teas, concentrates and extracts. Its most popular product is its POM 100% Juice. The company has marketed pomegranate juice for its high antioxidants, vitamin K, and potassium. Pomegranate juice has become popular among consumers who desire to improve their health. However, in 2010 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruled that POM Wonderful used deceptive advertising. Among its marketing claims, POM Wonderful maintained that pomegranate juice lowers the risks of heart disease, erectile dysfunction, and prostate cancer. POM advertisements with claims such as “Amaze Your Cardiologist” and “Drink to Prostate Health” were placed in Parade, Fitness, and Fitness magazines; The New York Times; on price tags; and on the websites pomwonderful.com, pompills.com, and pomegranatetruth.com. The problem, according to the FTC, was that these claims were not substantiated. The FTC maintains that POM Wonderful based its claims on faulty evidence the company distorted and that was eventually refuted. POM Wonderful was found guilty of violating the Federal Trade Commission Act by making deceptive claims in 36 advertisements and promotions. The FTC accused POM of making unsubstantiated efficacy claims—or suggesting that the product works as advertised—as well as establishment claims—claims that a product’s benefits and superiority have been scientifically established.

This one was being planted right across the street. Before the trees even arrived, the big grower – no one from around here seems to know his name – turned on the pump to test his new deep well, and it was at that precise moment, Annie says, when the water in his plowed field gushed like flood time, that the Coopers’ house went dry.”1 Introduction Many suppose that Annie Cooper’s story is emblematic of California’s water problem. Often the culprit is named – almonds, pistachios, walnuts – each of which is very profitable to farm in California and is water hungry. It is true that California Almond growers supply 80% of the worldwide supply despite severe drought conditions in recent years. In 2015 a story in the Sacramento Bee reported that “the amount of California farmland devoted to almonds has nearly doubled over the past 20 years, to more than 900,000 acres.” Similar increases have been experienced by other nut crops (pistachios, walnuts, etc). There is no question therefore that there has been an immense change Central Valley agriculture.
