THE Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has issued an infringement notice totalling $13,320 to Sydney-based Cat Media Pty Ltd for alleged advertising breaches.
The matter relates to the continued advertisement of FatBlaster Original, promoted as a 'Diet Supplement' on the company's website after Cat Media had cancelled its entry in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) on 29 Jun this year.
"As the good was neither exempt nor excluded from the operation of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1919, it needed to be entered in the ARTG in order to be lawfully advertised in Australia," the TGA noted.
"Cancelled therapeutic goods cannot be advertised to Australian consumers," it added, with advertisements for cancelled goods in breach of the relevant legislation.
