Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: FDA Continues to Combat Fraudulent COVID-19 Medical Products 疫情时事:FDA将继续打击假冒新冠医疗产品
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is providing an update on the agency’s efforts to combat the extremely concerning actions by companies and individuals that are exploiting or taking advantage of widespread fear among consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to scammers on the internet selling unproven medical products, the FDA has taken – and continues to take – a number of steps to find and stop those selling unapproved products that fraudulently claim to mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose or cure COVID-19.
今日,FDA发布了最新措施,旨在打击新冠疫情期间利用消费者的恐慌情绪从事相关违法活动的公司和个人。针对在网上销售未经检验的医疗产品的诈骗人员,FDA已经并将继续采取一系列措施进行查处。未经检验的产品通常指欺诈性地宣称能减轻、预防、治疗、诊断或治愈新冠病毒的产品。
To date, the FDA has issued 42 warning letters to companies making bogus COVID-19 claims, including one to a seller of fraudulent chlorine dioxide products, equivalent to industrial bleach, frequently referred to as “Miracle Mineral Solution” or “MMS”, as a treatment for COVID-19. After the seller refused to take corrective action, a federal court issued a preliminary injunction requiring the seller to immediately stop distributing its unproven and potentially dangerous product.
迄今为止,FDA已向42家生产新冠假冒伪劣产品的公司发出了警告信,包括一家销售假冒二氧化氯产品并声称其可用于治疗新冠的公司,该产品相当于工业漂白剂,通常也被称为“神奇矿物质溶液”或“MMS”。在销售方拒绝采取纠正措施后,联邦法院向其发出了初步禁令,要求其立即停止分销该项未经检验且存在潜在危险的产品。
In just a few short weeks, the agency has discovered hundreds of such products including fraudulent drugs, testing kits and personal protective equipment (PPE) sold online with unproven claims. We continue to work with online marketplaces, domain name registrars, payment processors and social media websites to remove from their platforms products that fraudulently claim to mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose or cure COVID-19 and to keep those products from reappearing under different names. We encourage anyone aware of suspected fraudulent medical products for COVID-19 to [url=]report[/url] them to the FDA.
在过去短短几周内,FDA已查处了数百种此类产品,包括网上销售的各种未经检测批准的假药、检测试剂盒和个人防护设备。我们将继续与各网上市场、域名注册服务商、支付服务提供商以及社交媒体网站合作,删除其平台上欺诈性声称能减轻、预防、治疗、诊断或治愈新冠的产品,防止此类产品以不同的名称重新出现。我们鼓励所有民众向FDA举报疑似的假冒新冠医疗产品。
Recently, the agency intercepted and investigated a case of mislabeled COVID-19 “treatment kits” offered for import. As a result, Special Agents with the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations, with the help of domestic and international law enforcement counterparts in the United Kingdom, led the Department of Justice to bring a criminal complaint against a British man who sought to profit from this pandemic and jeopardize public health.
最近,FDA截获并查处了一项误标有新冠“检测试剂盒”用以进口的案件。在英国国内和国际执法相关机构的协助下,FDA犯罪调查办公室的特别探员代表司法部对一名试图利用新冠疫情获利并危害公共健康的英国男子提起了刑事申诉。
Until the curve is flattened, and even after, the FDA will continue to carry out the agency’s mission of protecting the health and safety of American consumers and strive to prevent unlawful FDA-regulated products from entering, or being distributed in, domestic commerce.
在新冠疫情得到控制之前乃至之后,FDA都将继续履行其保护美国消费者健康和安全的使命,努力防止FDA监管的非法产品进入或分销到国内市场。
