\"\"<\/span>Photo: SearchRx and News 9<\/a><\/span>FDA warns Dollar Tree about obtaining and selling potentially unsafe medications.<\/span>The manufacturers of these products incur a number of violations.<\/span>Manufacturers include Shanghai Weierya Daily Chemicals Factory and Hangzhou Zhongbo Industrial Company Ltd.<\/span>The US Food and Drug Administration<\/a> has sent out a warning letter to Dollar Tree after it received over-the-counter drugs produced by foreign manufacturers. These medical items, such as acne treatment pads and Assured brand drugs, have been found to be adulterated. Greenbrier International Inc., the owner of Dollar Tree, has been asked to stop selling this potentially dangerous merchandise.<\/span>The letter addresses Dollar Tree<\/a>\u2018s receipt of adulterated drugs from manufacturers and suppliers that had received warning letters of their own. These manufacturers were placed on \u201cimport alert\u201d for multiple violations of manufacturing practices. Now the FDA is requiring Dollar Tree to put a new system in place to make sure none of their products are coming in from adulterated practices.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Dollar Tree selling \u201cpotentially unsafe drugs\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: SearchRx<\/a><\/span>Donald D. Ashley<\/a>, director of the Office of Compliance in the FDA\u2019s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, released a statement, saying, \u201cAmericans expect and deserve drugs that are safe, effective, and that meet our standards for quality. The importation and distribution of drugs and other products from manufacturers that violate federal law is unacceptable.\u201d<\/span>He continues, \u201cIn this case, Dollar Tree has the ultimate responsibility to ensure that it does not sell potentially unsafe drugs and other FDA-regulated products to Americans. We will remain vigilant in our efforts to protect the U.S. public from companies who put the health of Americans at risk\u2014whether through the manufacturing and distribution of products we regulate or other means.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>Dollar Tree VP responds<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: News 9<\/a><\/span>In response to the situation, the Dollar Tree company says it plans to cooperate with the FDA\u2019s requirements. Randy Guiler<\/a>, vice president of investor relations at Dollar Tree released a statement. \u201cWe are committed to our customers\u2019 safety and have very robust and rigorous testing programs in place to ensure our third-party manufacturers\u2019 products are safe,\u201d he says.<\/span>He continues, \u201cEach of the items referenced in the report are topical, and not ingestible, products. As always, we are cooperating with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We plan to meet with the FDA in the near future and expect that our plans will satisfy their requirements in all regards.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Jill Cataldo<\/a><\/span>According to CNN<\/a>, the company has 15 business days to respond to the FDA in written form. As the warning letter states, \u201cfailure to promptly correct the violations may result in legal action without further notice, including, without limitation, seizure and injunction.\u201d<\/span>The warning letter goes into detail about some of the products obtained by Dollar Tree from Shanghai Weierya Daily Chemicals Factory and Hangzhou Zhongbo Industrial Company Ltd. Both manufacturers have had multiple violations. These violations include not testing raw materials or drugs for pathogens and quality. In conclusion, the FDA encourages consumers and healthcare professionals to report any abnormal things that may have happened after ingesting medications from Dollar Tree.<\/span>Proper BCS greatergood_ctg_abovevideo<\/span><\/span>Source<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
