Thomas Brugato is quoted in Bloomberg Law regarding the EPA’s increased enforcement measures against products making unproven antiviral or disinfectant claims in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Mr. Brugato says, “This is the tip of the iceberg. I think we’ll definitely see more cases like this.” He adds that given the clear public health implication of the pandemic, it was only a matter of time before the EPA began targeting consumer products making unverified anti-viral claims like the ones in the blocked shipments.
