The same people think there are buying a new product but its actually the same thing they bought last month. And we target the elderly with health problems.

Your question makes perfect sense except I can't figure out how Vista targets the elderly with health problems.

Yes, it happens all the time. When a manufacturer has excess capacity, the plant manager might approach another business and offer to manufacture the same product with a different label.

The answer depends on whether the product is one which is regulated by any governmental agencies, or whether they are able to do so due to misleading information in their marketing. Sorry, but for many products there is no bright line answer, so it falls into a grey area.
For more assistance, if this bothers you morally or ethically, please contact the Consumer Protection division of your State's Attorney General office.
Good luck!

If they are selling used product as new, then probably not. If they sell the same products under different brand names, it isn't illegal at all.

It's called regional marketing. Perfectly legal. Why are you concerned?
