IASC Adds Green Aloe Kr to "Not Certified List"

October 18, 2011 - The IASC today announced continued efforts to protect it's certification seal program trademark, adding Green Aloe Kr to the list of company's who are improperly using the IASC Certification Seal on its products.

The IASC maintains a 3rd party certification program that verifies the content and purity of aloe vera in products. This program and the certification seal are recognized globally, and consumers can be assured that the products legally displaying the seal contain the required amount of aloe vera in accordance with the IASC program standards. The IASC maintains lists of currently and no longer certified products, as well as a list of manufacturers who have illegally displayed the seal on products/marketing (the not certified list).

Upon being notified that the company was using the seal on its products, IASC staff and counsel began taking actions to have the seal removed from Green Aloe Kr products, including Cease & Desist letters and obtaining counsel in Korea. The IASC board, at its most recent meeting on October 14, also passed a motion to have the certification seal trademark registered in South Korea, and this project has been undertaken with the assistance of counsel.

"We will continue to protect the seal as it provides clear value to consumers and manufacturers of aloe vera products," said Devon Powell, Executive Director of the IASC. "Companies who are using the seal without authorization will be dealt with accordingly"
