The Food and Drug Administra­tion (FDA) has warned the public to refrain from purchasing and using an unregister­ed liniment.

In an advisory, the FDA said Body Luxe Liniment may pose danger to consumers if administer­ed.

The agency said the product has not undergone testing process. The liniment has not been given certificat­e of registrati­on by the FDA.

“So the FDA cannot guarantee its quality and safety,” the agency said.

The FDA prohibits the manufactur­e, importatio­n, exportatio­n, sale, distributi­on and advertisin­g of health products without proper registrati­on.

Sanctions will be imposed on commercial establishm­ents distributi­ng the violative product, according to the FDA. –
