ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—The owners of a Taos herb company are suing the Federal Trade Commission for violating their First Amendment rights in what their lawyer is calling an unprecedented lawsuit.
Mark and Marianne Hershiser, owners of Native Essence Herb Company, claim in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court that they have a right to provide customers information on the historical use of herbs under free speech. The couple had posted historical information about herbs on their Web site, along with general product information.
The FTC, however, maintains that claims based on historical or traditional herbal use should be substantiated by scientific evidence. The agency's guidelines also state that advertisers should not suggest, directly or indirectly, that a supplement would provide benefits to those suffering from diseases unless there's reliable evidence to substantiate such claims.
The Hershisers argue that the historical information posted on their Web site came from federal government Web sites concerning herbs and herbal remedies and they should be allowed to provide that information for their customers.
... It's their position that they have the right to state as a matter of hisorical context, what herbs were used for whatever ailments and reasons; and that to ask them to not state such information violates their first amandment rights..... I apologise for forgetting the brave companys name
