The FDA determined these CBD products are unapproved new drugs, violating section 505(a) of the FD&C Act, and misbranded drugs under section 502. The introduction of these products into interstate commerce is prohibited by sections 301(a) and (d). The letter emphasizes the public health emergency declared for COVID-19.

NeuroXPF is required to immediately cease selling these unapproved products.

Failure to comply may result in legal action, including seizure and injunction. NeuroXPF will be added to FDA's public list of firms selling fraudulent COVID-19 products.
