Jason Cardiff (Redwood Scientific Technologies, Inc.)

The FTC filed a complaint against Jason Cardiff and Redwood Scientific Technologies, Inc. in October 2018, alleging a scheme using illegal robocalls to deceptively market dissolvable oral film strips as effective smoking cessation, weight-loss, and sexual-performance aids. An initial 2019 settlement permanently banned co-defendant Danielle Cadiz from all robocall activities and imposed an $18.2 million judgment against her. In March 2022, the FTC announced final court orders against all remaining defendants, including Cardiff. The enforcement actions addressed both the deceptive health efficacy claims and the illegal robocall marketing methods used to promote the products.
