    The US Food and Drug Administration has said it’s taking the issue seriously

    And yet, it keeps happening. The Hux family from this story had to sue the manufacturer to get anything. So many people were harmed and probably never even got informed about the recall. Plenty of other harmful products will injure people and go undetected.

    The FDA has no teeth, and it’s not getting any better in the next 4 years.

      What, you mean the brain worm that directs RFK’s actions isn’t capable of effective regulation?

      Certainly it won’t be the case that a random doctor from Arkansas who happens to be a Fox News contributor and also happens to shill her own vitamin supplement mix will be executing directives from the brain worm.

        From the article:

        It’s unclear whether that will change under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to run the US Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy has called for getting rid of dyes and other ingredients linked to cancer that can be found in food and has said the US needs tougher regulators that aren’t as close to the industries they police.

        I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day … hopefully he makes that happens.
