The FDA has sent warning letters to three companies, including Amazon, for selling mole and skin tag removal products that the agency has not approved.
. These products may be sold as ointments, gels, sticks, or liquids, and may contain high concentrations of salicylic acid or other harmful ingredients. Selling unapproved products to consumers violates the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
The warning letters alert the three companies that they have 15 days to address any violations. However, warning letters are not a final FDA action, according to the statement. The statement says moles should be evaluated by a health care professional, as attempts at self-diagnosis and at-home treatment could lead to a delayed cancer diagnosis, and potentially to cancer progression.
