FDA Fights False Claims About H1N1 Treatments

There are over 140 drugs, devices and pieces of equipment marketed over the Internet that have landed on a list of fraudulent swine-flu-fighting products compiled by the Food and Drug Administration. It is violation of federal law to market products that claim to prevent or treat H1N1 and that have not been approved by the F.D.A. While most claims about products are so outlandish that they are dismissed, it posses the problem that individuals may have a false sense of protection.
