However, it is flagged as medium risk because the video lacks the mandatory FDA disclaimer for such claims. Additionally, because it is presented as a personal testimonial of significant improvement ('gaining hours' of sleep), FTC regulations require that this reflects the typical results a consumer can expect, and the advertiser must have competent and reliable scientific evidence to substantiate this level of efficacy."}], "has_disclaimer": false, "disclaimer_text": null, "regulatory_notes": "The primary compliance issue with this advertisement is the omission of the mandatory FDA disclaimer ('These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.') when making structure/function claims about sleep. The brand must also ensure they have adequate substantiation for the implied efficacy of gaining hours of sleep, as the FTC holds advertisers liable for claims made through consumer or influencer testimonials."}
