WASHINGTON - The US Food & Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission on Monday issued warning letters to seven companies for selling products that claim to prevent, treat or cure Covid-19 caused by the new coronavirus.

"There already is a high level of anxiety over the potential spread of coronavirus," said FTC Chairman Joe Simons."What we don't need in this situation are companies preying on consumers by promoting products with fraudulent prevention and treatment claims. The products cited in these letters are teas, essential oils, tinctures and colloidal silver. The FDA had previously warned that colloidal silver is not safe or effective for treating any disease or condition."Nothing we offer for sale is intended to mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose or cure Covid-19 in people," N-Ergetics said.
