Thus, these marketing campaigns make false claims.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that the argument
rejects an argument because of its source without evaluating the argument's logical strength
concludes that a claim is false merely on the grounds that it has not been shown to be true
draws an inference on the basis of a sample that is likely to be unrepresentative
fails to address the possibility that many people buy herbal teas containing ginseng because they enjoy drinking the tea
fails to address the possibility that some ingredients other than ginseng in the herbal teas containing ginseng counteract the effects of stress
