Posted March 5, 2021
Seller of Earth Tea Warned for COVID-19 Claims
On February 18, 2021, the FDA issued a warning letter to B4B Corp. following a review of the company's website by the FDA and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which found the company promoted Earth Tea Extra Strength with unsupported claims that it can treat coronavirus (COVID-19).
The FDA has previously stated: "There currently are no vaccines, pills, potions, lotions, lozenges or other prescription or over-the-counter products available to treat or cure coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)."
Earth Tea Extra Strength was promoted with statements such as "Earth Tea works fast so it can eliminate quarantine time. With those simple steps we can move to end the Pandemic fast" and "Earth Tea is confirmed to stop coughing from Covid-19 100%."
The FDA instructed the company to send an email to COVID-19-Task-Force-CDER@fda.hhs.gov within 48 hours of receipt of the warning, describing the specific steps it has taken to correct these violations.
