TGA orders IHRB to stop advertising
On 27 February 2014, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) Ordered IHRB to stop advertising. The Order was made under Regulation 9 of the Therapeutic Goods Regulation 1990. IHRB must, by law, take certain actions in relation to the complaint that I had submitted about IHRB’s advertising which the Complaints Resolution Panel had found to be ‘unlawful, […]
It’s Official: IHRB ads unlawful
The Complaints Resolution Panel handed down a Determination on 16 November 2011, finding IHRB’s advertisements and their claims to be, ‘Unlawful, misleading, and unverified, and breached the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code.’ A total of 12 Sections of the Act and Codes were breached. The Panel has placed three new Sanctions on IHRB: 1) Publication of […]
Cohen’s celebrity spills beans
Sam Cohen of IHRB has denied ever paying his clients for testimonials. Now, a celebrity who endorsed IHRB, spills the beans with significant allegations saying that his whole treatment has been FREE. Before we look at the significance of a free treatment in exchange for a testimonial, let us keep in mind that the Complaints […]
Catch me if you can
Despite being told to stop publishing those unlawful, misleading, and unverified advertisements, IHRB has accelerated its claims through bolder statements that are worse than ever. What’s more amazing is that IHRB was told to publish retractions. Instead, IHRB plays a game of cat and mouse. Let’s review the latest ads that appeared in ‘Spectator’ magazine. […]
What’s your number, duckie?
In 2007, the Complaints Resolution Panel reminded Mr Sam Cohen of IHRB that all advertisements for therapeutic goods must first be approved, and must display the APPROVAL NUMBER. Mr Cohen never sought approval, and he ignored the law. Then in 2011, the Panel found IHRB in Breach of the Act, and told him to stop […]
Dragging IHRB to Canberra
We enter a new phase in IHRB’s sad and sorry state of affairs. The Complaints Resolution Panel was fed-up with Sam Cohen’s recalcitrance and defiance. The right-royal one-finger salute from Mr Cohen had pushed the Panel’s hot-button. The Panel sent letters to Mr Cohen, dated 17 and 21 December 2011, advising Mr Cohen of the […]
Breaking 12 TGA Codes
Page six of the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code contains General Principles. These are listed here, along with a link that shows how, in my opinion, IHRB and Sam Cohen break all 12 of the Advertising Codes. A full page is dedicated to each of the Codes. Just click on the links below so that you […]
Working outside the laws
The TGA’s Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code 4.1.a says: ‘An advertisement for therapeutic goods must comply with the statutes and common law of the Commonwealth, States and Territories.’ Mr Cohen is advertising a medical treatment that uses products that are not approved for the treatment of hair. He personally sells medications, yet he is not authorised, not licensed, […]
Unverified statements
The TGA’s Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code 4.1.b says: ‘An advertisement for therapeutic goods must contain correct and balanced statements only and claims which the sponsor has already verified.’ IHRB has no verifications. It has conducted no clinical trials. It does not disclose the main ingredients. Mr Cohen speaks about his herbal Indian Curries, but refused to tell […]
