Summary
Enigmaa Ltd, which trades as Blessed CBD, was the subject of an Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruling on October 26, 2022, together with the affiliate marketer Consumer Logic Inc, trading as Consumer Logic Research. The case concerned four advertorials published in 2021 on UK regional and national news websites that were presented as independent reviews and ranked Blessed CBD's oil among the best on the market. According to the ASA, the pieces suggested CBD could help with chronic pain, seizures, epilepsy, sleep disorders and anxiety, and promoted a CBD cream for topical pain relief. The ASA upheld all five issues: the content was not clearly identified as marketing, made medicinal claims for an unlicensed product, and made health claims that are not authorized for food supplements. Both companies responded and said they would improve compliance, and the ads may not appear again in that form.
