Below are the companies, individuals, manufacturers and products that have been issued “Warning Letters” from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for making unlawful cancer treatment and prevention claims.
Based on the FDA’s review of these companies’ websites, the products are cited as “unapproved new drugs marketed in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act,” because they claim to cure, treat, mitigate or prevent disease, and have not been shown to be safe and effective for their labeled conditions of use.
When products are marketed improperly, the FDA warning letter specifies the violations and demands to know how the problem will be corrected. If a warning is ignored, or if the FDA decides to begin with more forceful action, the agency can initiate court proceedings for seizure, injunction, or criminal prosecution.
Review the list of warning letter recipients, and the products, released by the FDA in June 2008, listed on the Cancer Treatment Watch website.
