Advertising complaint - Advertisement on the Napiers website for a “Homeopathy for Families” workshop including a complimentary bottle of the homeopathic remedy Arnica - January 2009

A member of the public complained to the MHRA about an advertisement on the blog section of the Napiers website. The complainant was concerned that complimentary bottles of homeopathic Arnica were distributed at a homeopathic workshop for families in January 2009. The MHRA did not uphold the complaint.

The product offered did not appear to be a registered homeopathic medicinal product; the restriction on the distribution of free samples therefore did not apply.

Date case raised: 16 June 2009
Date action agreed: 22 July 2009
