Misleading Mouth-Guard Advertisement Settlement:
Press release regarding Pop Warner (youth football league) choosing brain armor as its "official brain supplement." It is notable that some of the people on the medical advisory board of Pop Warner and of Brain Armor are the same people (specifically Julian Bailes). This illustrates the concern of conflicts of interest and how there might not be much oversight of products that are targeting child athletes and their parents.
