Signature Biologics Warns Public About Unauthorized Use of Chairman Dr. Neil Riordan's Name and Likeness

Irving-based biologics company says unaffiliated businesses are using its chairman’s name, image and videos without permission to sell stem cell products and services

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Signature Biologics, LLC, an Irving-based developer and manufacturer of cellular and biologic products, is warning patients and the public that unaffiliated businesses are using the name, photograph and video content of its founder and chairman, Dr. Neil Riordan, without his or the company’s knowledge or consent and in a false and misleading way, to promote their own stem cell products and services.

These businesses have featured Dr. Riordan in social media posts, on websites and in live sales presentations in a way designed to suggest that he and Signature Biologics endorse or are affiliated with them. They are not. Neither Signature Biologics nor Dr. Riordan has any connection to these businesses or any oversight of the products or services they sell.

“My name has been used to sell things I have never seen, never reviewed and never approved,” said Dr. Riordan, chairman of Signature Biologics. “If you are considering any treatment because you saw my face or heard my voice, please stop and check who you are really dealing with.”

The truth is simple. Dr. Riordan is affiliated only with:

• Arugula Sciences, LLC / Signature Biologics, LLC
• Riordan Centers for Cellular Medicine
• Riordan Medical Institute
• Medistem / Stem Cell Institute
• Aidan Products
• ARC Nutrition

If a product, clinic, presentation or social media account uses Dr. Riordan’s name or likeness but is not one of these organizations, it is not affiliated with him or with Signature Biologics.

Signature Biologics and Dr. Riordan have retained counsel and are taking legal action to stop the unauthorized use of his name and likeness. Anyone who sees his name, image or videos being used by another business is encouraged to report it to Michaela Kessler at [e-mail].
