Tainted Sleep Aid Products
FDA has identified an emerging trend where over-the-counter products, frequently represented as dietary supplements, contain hidden active ingredients that could be harmful. Consumers may unknowingly take products laced with varying quantities of approved prescription drug ingredients, controlled substances and untested and unstudied pharmaceutically active ingredients. These deceptive products can harm you. Hidden ingredients are increasingly becoming a problem in products promoted for sleep aid products.
