Item 8.01 Other Events
On May 27, 2011, the Company received a warning letter from the US Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Service (the FDA) dated May 25, 2011 (the Warning Letter). The Warning Letter asserts that the FDA tested lots of the Companys dietary supplement, RegenErect, and concluded that it contained a pharmaceutical ingredient and is, therefore, subject to regulation as a new prescription drug, requiring FDA approval prior to introduction and delivery. The FDA also asserts that, because it is a new prescription drug, RegenErect is misbranded as a dietary supplement, and that the advertising and promotional claims of the Company exceed the claims permitted for dietary supplements. The Warning Letter requires the Company to respond within 15 days, disclosing the specific steps taken to correct the alleged violations.
The Companys formulation and ingredient list for RegenEerect did not include the pharmaceutical discovered by the FDA. The raw ingredients for the lots tested by the FDA were supplied by a previous supplier that is no longer used by the Company. The Company stopped shipment and recalled the tainted lots and has since procured a new source of raw ingredients. The raw ingredients from our new supplier have been tested by an FDA-approved testing facility, and product shipment has resumed.
The Company takes this matter very seriously and intends to fully respond to the FDA. If unresolved, the claims in the Warning Letter would have a substantial impact on the Companys ability to market and sell RegenErect and would materially affect the business, operations and financial condition of the Company. However, the Company believes that it can adequately address all of the FDAs concerns without a material impact on the Companys business. Nonetheless, the Company cannot give any assurances that the FDA will be satisfied with the Companys response or its remedial plan, and cannot estimate the date on which these concerns will be resolved, if ever.
