The US Administration of Food and Drugs continues again after a company that advocates the promotion of chlorine dioxide products as ways to treat, prevent or cure otherwise Covid-19. The Agency sent a warning letter to the OCO Nanotechnology Science, which says the FTC and the FTC examined a website and a social media account used by the company.
Among other things, the FDA asserts OCLO offers chlorine dioxide as covid-19 healings and prevention products not approved and manufactured at the United States branch via a showcase. The agency says in its letter: “We ask that you take immediate action to stop the sale of unapproved and unauthorized products for the mitigation, prevention, treatment, diagnosis or healing of COVID-19.”
The FDA states that the company offers products including OCLO 3000 (Gotero) – Booster and immune antiviral, an aqueous solution containing 3000 ppm of chlorine dioxide. The FDA letter alleges that OCLO sold this product with the affirmation that, among other things, it “can be used to combat a large number of viral infections, including Covid-19.”
This is not the first time that the FDA has passed after a commercialized sales company without approval or authorization to prevent, process or cure Covid-19. The Agency maintains a growing list of vendors accused of selling “fraudulent” products COVID-19, and it has been warned that the public should not drink chlorine dioxide or sodium chlorite products for years.
These products are sold under different names and with various marketing claims. The FDA notes that chlorine dioxide is a “powerful whitening agent” and that it is used as disinfectant. The consumption of the substance can result in serious health problems, including severe dehydration, low fatal blood pressure, liver failure and more.
