Questionable cancer products banned from sale in USA

A US District Judge has ordered Lane Labs-USA of Allendale, New Jersey, and its presidents to stop selling three alleged cancer remedies under their current name or any other name. In accordance with the federal law, which prohibits the marketing of health products with unapproved claims that they can prevent, treat, mitigate, or cure disease, the FDA began warning the defendants in 1997 and initiated the lawsuit in 1999 because the company continued to market the products illegally as dietary supplements, claiming that three of their products (one produced from shark cartilage, a glycoalkaloid skin cream and MGN-3, a rice-bran extract treated with shitake mushroom) were effective in the treatment of cancer.
