Red's Kitchen Sink at Bourbon Street Ice
FDA issued a warning letter to Red's Kitchen Sink at Bourbon Street Ice (Kennesaw, GA) regarding four product lines — Pressure Be Gone, Cell Defense Shield, Bony-Barony Detox Tea, and Cell Fuel 102 (capsules, powder, and gel) — sold via its website, Facebook, and YouTube. The agency determined that disease-treatment claims on these platforms caused the products to be classified as unapproved new drugs under the FD&C Act, and that the products were also misbranded for lacking adequate directions for use. FDA additionally flagged unauthorized use of the FDA logo on Cell Fuel 102 packaging and demanded written corrective action within 15 working days, warning that failure to comply could result in seizure or injunction.
