One of the warning letters was addressed to Benjamin McEvoy, who the FDA says participates in Amazon's associates program. The program allows participants to earn commissions by embedding links to Amazon products on their websites.
McEvoy's site also recommended adding"a vitamin C supplement to your arsenal" in these"COVID-19 times." He claimed these were his"personal supplement recommendations" based on"years of supplementation for improved immune response."In another letter on Thursday, the FDA instructed Mark White Eagle of Fort Davis, Texas, to remove claims from a website he allegedly operates promoting the use of herbal remedies against COVID-19.
As of Saturday morning, claims cited by the FDA were still up on White Eagle's website. On a biographical page, he claims to have cured conditions such as blindness, flesh eating bacterial disease, seizures, cancer and the plague.The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 and subsequent regulations prevent the introduction of unapproved drugs onto the marketplace, including previously known substances marketed for an unapproved purpose, such as for treatment of COVID-19.
