On August 28, 2020, the FDA issued a warning letter to Dr. Sam Robbins, Inc. dba HFL Solutions, LLC following a review of the company's websites, which found statements made about some of the company's products, including AlphaViril, Blood Flow Optimizer, Blood Pressure Optimizer, Blood Sugar Optimizer, CHEATmeals, CholesLo, Inflame & Pain Relief, LeanOptimizer, Perfect Vitamin D & K, and ProVanax to be drug claims.

Additionally, the product CholesLo was found to contain lovastatin, the active ingredient in Mevacor and similar generic drugs, typically taken for high cholesterol. CholesLo is marketed as a red yeast rice supplement, but red yeast rice contains only small amounts of lovastatin, suggesting the product contains enhanced or added lovastatin and cannot be sold as a dietary supplement.

Examples of products with drug claims include Inflame & Pain Relief, which was promoted with statements such as "Lowers Heart Disease... Several studies suggest that Curcumin [an ingredient in the product] leads to improvements in endothelial function in the heart and can lower the risk of a heart attack by 65%."
