The
personal injuries caused by Ephedra products has asked the
question of how regulators should spend their resources.
That is, should regulators also be policing the diet industry
and its products?
In
1999, the FDA tried to do its part by controlling the dosage
amounts of Ephedra, but because of criticism by congressional
investigators, the FDA stopped trying to regulate this
stimulant. Also, in 1997, the FDA proposed safety
regulations regarding Ephedrine dietary supplements when the
Deputy Commissioner of Food and Drugs, Dr. Michael Friedman,
said that
“consumers
should be aware that just because a product is labeled
‘natural’ or from an herbal source it is not guaranteed to
be safe.”
This
statement warns the public of misleading advertising of
supplements including Ephedra products.
If
you or your loved one has become seriously ill because of use of
an Ephedra product, contact your attorney.
