Episode 6 of Regulated Beauty, “FTC + FDA Regulatory Overlap: Supplements, Cosmetics, and Drugs,” is now live.

In this episode, attorneys Carolina Arenas, Adella Katz, and Michaela Kluska explore how the FTC and FDA work together to regulate wellness, supplements, and cosmetics — and how implied claims, imagery, and omissions can transform a product into a regulated drug.

This episode explains why consumer interpretation, not marketing intent, drives enforcement.

As part of the firm’s LT Gives Back initiative, our Los Angeles office proudly participated in the 2026 Food From The Bar campaign, one of Southern California’s largest legal-community food drives benefiting the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.

Thanks to the generosity of our attorneys and staff, the team donated 1,106.88 pounds of food to support individuals and families facing food insecurity across the region. Contributions included nutritious pantry staples that help provide healthy meals, especially during the summer months when school meal programs are not available.

To encourage participation, the office hosted a friendly internal competition. The Green Team led the way with 581.24 pounds of donations, closely followed by the Blue Team with 522.64 pounds.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed their time and effort to make this initiative such a success. We’re proud to continue finding meaningful ways to give back to our communities.
