Dara Corrigan, JD, the FDA's associate commissioner for regulatory affairs, says the warning letters give the companies time to voluntarily comply with federal law.

Products are sold under more than 20 names, such as Herpaflor, C-Cure, Medavir, O2xygen Force, Gene-Eden, Essaic Tonic Liquid Drops and Detox Formula.
The FDA recommends that people who think they might have used or are currently using a fraudulent STD product to stop using and discard the product and see a health care professional.
