Summary

Vape Life Ltd, which trades online as CBD Life UK, was the subject of an Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruling on September 18, 2024. The ASA found that the company's website presented CBD gummies and other edibles as suitable for children and cited a maximum daily intake of 70 mg for adults, attributing that figure to official UK guidance. The ASA noted that the Food Standards Agency (FSA) advises vulnerable groups, including under-18s, not to take CBD, and that the FSA's recommended adult maximum had been lowered to 10 mg a day. It upheld both issues as misleading and unsubstantiated. According to the ruling, the company said the information was outdated, apologized and removed the claims. The ASA said the case formed part of wider work on ads presenting CBD products as suitable for children, and it told the company to align future claims with current FSA advice.
