U.S. Supreme Court Declines to Review Challenge to New York's Supplement Age-Restriction Law
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday, Oct. 12, to review the Council for Responsible Nutrition's (CRN) challenge to a New York law restricting the sale of certain dietary supplements to people under 18, Vitamin Retailer reported on Oct. 12. The Court denied CRN's petition for a writ of certiorari in Council for Responsible Nutrition v. James, No. 25-1145, which asked the justices to review a Second Circuit decision affirming the denial of a preliminary injunction against New York General Business Law Section 391-oo. The case will now move forward at the district court.
New York's law restricts sales of certain supplements to minors based on whether the products are labeled, marketed or otherwise represented for weight loss or muscle building. CRN argued the state's approach sweeps too broadly and fails to establish that lawful supplements are responsible for the harms cited in the law.
CRN president and CEO Steve Mister said the organization was disappointed the Court would not take the opportunity to review its concerns, adding that a decision not to hear the case is not a ruling on the merits of its arguments and that restrictions on lawful products should be supported by sound evidence and appropriately tailored. A denial of certiorari, by longstanding practice, means only that the Court will not hear the case and carries no implication about the correctness of the lower court's decision.
