FDA Advises Consumers to Avoid Purchasing Certain Products Originating in China
Late last week, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") issued an alert warning against the consumption of certain products originating in China. The FDA warned that products packaged and distributed by Shangai Distributor, Inc. of Coamo, Puerto for treatment of erectile dysfunction including RicoSuper Shangai, Strong Testis, Shangai Ultra, Shangai Ultra X, Lady Shangai, and Shangai Regular, also marketed as Shangai Chaojimengnan, contain undeclared active ingredients of FDA-approved prescription drugs and therefore are illegal. The alert further informs the public that "FDA may take further regulatory actions to protect consumers from these illegal products," but provides no insight as to the nature of these additional regulatory actions.
