The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on manufacturers of certain weight loss, body building and sexual enhancement supplements that contain potentially dangerous ingredients.
The FDA said Wednesday that some manufacturers are deceptively labeling products to hide that they contain ingredients known to cause health problems. Other supplements contain ingredients that should be available only by prescription.
“These tainted products can cause serious adverse effects, including strokes, organ failure and death,” FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said. “The manufacturers selling these tainted products are operating outside the law.”
