The Wheeler-Lea Act

For the last couple of years, I’ve been
obsessed with the history of advertising–specifically, advertising’s
relationship to its critics. A large part of this history deals with the

Council and other efforts, to shape what the public thinks when they think

grassroots groups, campaigns to advertise advertising, and "charitable" ...

Deregulation refers to the deletion, abandonment, or relaxation of various laws, rules, and regulations that affect business and industry. However, the topic of deregulation is best understood by first understanding the purposes and effects of regulations. It is often thought that individual firms lack the perspective and/or the incentive to protect society.

In 1968, the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions were added to the FD&C. Also in that year the FDA formed the Drug Efficacy Study Implementation (DESI) to incorporate into FD&C regulations the recommendations from a National Academy of Sciences investigation of effectiveness of previously marketed drugs. 2 The act has been amended many times, most recently to add requirements about bioterrorism preparations. The introduction of this act was influenced by the death of more than 100 patients due to a sulfanilamide medication where diethylene glycol was used to dissolve the drug and make a liquid form. 3 See Elixir ...

For many years, the Supreme Court held that the broad powers of government to regulate commerce included the “lesser power” to restrict commercial speech. 1 In Valentine (1942), the Court held that the First Amendment does not protect “purely commercial advertising.” This view was applied when the courts upheld the ban of broadcast advertising of cigarettes, 333 F. Supp 582 (1971), affirmed per curiam , 405 U.S. 1000 (1972). However, in the mid-1970s this view began to change as the Court invalidated several state regulations affecting advertising of services and ... Read More

THE WHEELER-LEA ACT
The current literature regarding Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation of drugs generally focuses on measuring the costs and benefits of the rather long drug approval process that was created by the Kefauver-Harris Amendments of 1962. (1) Peltzman (1973), for example, concludes that the high compliance cost of the amendments reduces R&D productivity and thus reduces new drug innovation. He also finds that the opportunity cost of forgone new drugs that are not approved (or the lost value of the benefits in the years they are undergoing approval) exceeds the benefit of the ineffective drugs that are avoided as a result of ...

(2) The Commission enforces a variety of other antitrust and consumer protection laws as well. Although the nation's first antitrust law, the Sherman Act, was enacted in 1890, the history of the Commission may be said to begin with the Supreme Court's landmark 1911 decision in the Standard Oil case, (3) in ...
