A warning letter has been sent to a company marketing bogus and dangerous chlorine dioxide products for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, the FDA says.
THURSDAY, April 9, 2020 -- A warning letter has been sent to a company marketing bogus and dangerous chlorine dioxide products for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says.
The joint warning letter from the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission gave the company 48 hours to outline what it's done to correct the violations. "Despite previous warnings, the FDA is concerned that we are still seeing chlorine dioxide products being sold with misleading claims that they are safe and effective for the treatment of diseases, now including COVID-19. The sale of these products can jeopardize a person's health and delay proper medical treatment," said FDA commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn.
Chlorine dioxide products have not been shown to be safe or effective for any use -- including COVID-19. But FDA said they continue to be sold as a remedy for treating autism, cancer, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and flu, among other conditions.
