FDA Prohibits sale of 6 Products Japani Oil, Safed Musli Power Plus, SpeedHeight capsules, Ratan’s Pursharth massage oil, Medora oil

Pune –

Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) have prohibited the sale of six products.
Due to misleading claims made in the advertisements published in newspapers.

Pune - FDA prohibited the sale of following six products –



1. Japani oil for male sexual health problems

2. SpeedHeight capsules for increasing height

3. Ratan’s Pursharth massage oil for sexual problems

4. Medora oil and gel for obesity and fat reduction

5. breast care capsule and oil for breast enlargement

6. Safed Musli Power Plus for sexual problems

The manufacturers of the products, most of whom are based in Haridwar,
have been sent notices under the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954.

the notice has asked companies to immediately stop fake advertisements in newspapers as well as withdraw all leaflets, literature, banners and stickers provided for marketing oils and capsules that are misleading.

If the manufacturer fails to respond to notice, he is liable for prosecution that includes imprisonment up to six months and fine for first time offenders,’’

FDA took the action as newspaper advertisement made misleading claims about the produces which were touted as aphrodisacs.

Joint commissioner ST Patil told to DNA that these claims are false and misguiding people.
There is no scientific proof to back these claims. Under section 3 and 4 of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954, it is prohibited to advertise
treatment and cures for certain diseases and disorders that include diabetes, obesity and sexual problems. Hence, we took action against manufacturer under the Act,’’

If the manufacturer fails to respond to notice, he is liable for prosecution that includes imprisonment up to six months and fine for first time offenders,’’

India needs to reform above punishment and punishment should be imprisonment up to 60 Years and fine first time should be more than One Crore.

The above type of punishment will create the fear in the minds of people before giving advertisements, Fake Advertisements.

If punishment is less that it creates more chances to do corruption, accept bribes and close the cases with little fine as good as no fine if compared with the Profits.
