It has come to our attention that certain individuals and entities have been using the name “Makers” on their labeling to sell, among other things, products claiming to contain CBD and hemp as ingredients. These products are sold on various websites, including Amazon, and are advertised on the internet, including on social media sites such as Facebook. Makers Nutrition is currently taking legal action to enforce its trademark rights. Although the labeling varies, examples include:
These products are not manufactured, marketed, or sold by Makers Nutrition. Makers Nutrition cannot advise consumers as to the content or quality of the products.
Makers Nutrition has also received reports from consumers that some sellers of some of these products require consumers to authorize the sellers to initiate monthly debit or credit card payments for reorders and have refused to cancel the recurring transactions even after consumers have requested that they do so. Because Makers Nutrition is not the seller of any of these products, Makers Nutrition cannot cancel any of these transactions nor refund consumers any amounts charged. Makers Nutrition advises consumers to use caution when entering into recurring transactions. If you feel you have been a victim of unauthorized transactions, please report this conduct to the Federal Trade Commission.
