Misbranding

The FD&C Act states that a drug or device is misbranded “if its labeling is false or misleading in any particular.” The misbranding provisions of the FD&C Act in Section 502 cover various aspects of drug and device labeling requirements. Many of the provisions apply to drugs and devices both; however, there are also specific misbranding provisions that apply to only drugs or only devices.
