FDA is reminding industry and others about its policy on using the “FDA” name and logo in any materials without being specifically authorized by the agency to do so. “Unauthorized use of FDA marks on private sector materials could send a message to the public that the FDA favors or endorses a private sector organization or the organization’s activities, products, services, and/or personnel (either overtly or tacitly), which the FDA does not and cannot do,” an [agency post](https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/website-policies/fda-name-and-logo-policy?ref=fdaweb.com) says. “Unauthorized use of the FDA marks may violate federal law and subject those responsible to civil and/or criminal liability.”
