The Shirley Amendments addressed which of the following?

• A. Prohibited false and misleading claims for drug products
• B. Safety data requirements for cosmetics
• C. Created two classes of products
• D. No payment for referral

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is how early federal law curbed deceptive drug advertising. The Shirley Amendments were designed to stop false or fraudulent therapeutic claims made about drug products in labeling and advertising. That focus on preventing misleading claims is why the best choice is the one stating that it prohibited false and misleading claims for drug products. It isn’t about safety data for cosmetics, it doesn’t create product classes, and it doesn’t address referrals or kickbacks.
