The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said two Vicks products sold over-the-counter to treat the common cold and flu that contain vitamin C violate agency rules. A warning letter was sent to Vicks owner Procter & Gamble Co. (PG) that “Vicks DayQuil Plus Vitamin C” and “Vicks NyQuil Plus Vitamin C” cannot be marketed as a combination drug and dietary supplement. The FDA suggested Procter & Gamble would have to seek agency approval.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States is seeking to recall 23 different products marketed as for weight loss because they contain undeclared active pharmaceutical substances that may pose serious health risks to consumers. The products are marketed over the Internet and in retail stores, and in some cases are described as “dietary supplements”. Some of the tainted weight loss products are Fatloss Slimming, 2 Day Diet, 3x Slimming Power, Japan Lingzhi 24 Hours Diet, 3 Day Diet, 7 Day Herbal Slim, 999 Fitness Essence, Extrim Plus and GMP.
