NS Products, Inc.
NS Products, Inc. (doing business as NaturaCure) received a joint FDA/FTC warning letter in May 2021 for marketing their herbal dietary supplement as a treatment and cure for infertility disorders including PCOS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and tubal blockage. The FDA determined NaturaCure constitutes an unapproved new drug and misbranded drug under the FD&C Act due to disease-treatment claims made on their website. The FTC flagged the same efficacy claims as unsubstantiated and warned that continued violations could result in injunctions, cease-and-desist orders, and civil penalties up to $43,792 per violation, plus consumer refunds.
