Avoid Fake Cancer Cure Claims
Earlier this month, the US Food and Drug Administration issued warning letters to 23 U.S. companies (and 2 foreign individuals) that were marketing products fraudulently claiming to prevent and cure cancer.
“The FDA also warns North American consumers against using or purchasing the products, which include tablets, teas, tonics, black salves, and creams, and are sold under various names on the Internet.”
Here’s the press release.
Oh, and here’s a list of the recipients of the warning letters with links to each individual letter. Want a taste of what they included?
“You should take prompt action to correct the violations described above and prevent their future recurrence. Failure to do so may result in enforcement action without further notice.
The Act authorizes the seizure of illegal products and injunctions against manufacturers and distributors of those products [21 §§ U.S.C. 332 and 334].
Please notify this office, in writing, within fifteen (15) working of the receipt of this letter, as to the specific steps you have taken to correct the violations noted above and to assure that similar violations do not occur. Include any documentation necessary to show that correction has been achieved. If corrective actions cannot be completed within fifteen working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which the corrections will be completed.”
