Product Identification
List the product name, model, or SKU to which the disclaimer applies so there is no doubt about the scope of the statement.
A clear FDA Disclaimer Form helps reduce regulatory risk by preventing misleading claims that could be treated as unauthorized representations of FDA evaluation or approval. It also documents the communication provenance and supports recordkeeping obligations under federal and state consumer protection rules.
Organizations and roles that commonly prepare FDA disclaimers include product safety/legal teams, regulatory affairs, marketing, and compliance officers.
Final signatory authority often rests with a named officer, authorized agent, or in-house counsel depending on corporate policy and the document's distribution channel.
List the product name, model, or SKU to which the disclaimer applies so there is no doubt about the scope of the statement.
State plainly that the product or claim has not been evaluated, cleared, or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration when that is accurate.
Include the legal entity name and address responsible for the communication so regulators and consumers know who issued the disclaimer.
Explain the limited purpose of the statement (e.g., nutritional information, consumer education) and that it does not substitute for medical advice.
Specify where the disclaimer will appear (labeling, website footer, marketing copy) and how it will be displayed to ensure readability.
Provide space for an authorized signature and effective date to document when the disclaimer was issued and by whom.
