On September 23, 2019, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Natural Wonder Products Corp concerning the company’s marketing of veterinary products for the “treatment” of disease in pets, including but not limited to the following products: Daily Sure Multi-Herbal, Denta Sure, Adadren, Arthridia, C-Care, Cataractin, CortiQuel, Detox, Blood-Sugar Balance, Number 2, Ear Mist,  Heart Hardy, SoothAway, Immune, KC Cat Cough, KC for Kennel Cough, K9 Calm, PV for Canine Parvovirus, Tidy Tears, ThyroPaws, TSH, Number 1, FourGuard, and FlexaSure.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed the company’s websites at various internet addresses where they promote and sell these products, including  www.natural-wonder-pets.com and www.natural-wonder-remedies.com and determined the products are intended for use in the mitigation, treatment, or prevention of diseases in animals, which makes them drugs under section 201(g)(1)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) [21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(1)(B)].  Further, the products are unapproved new animal drugs and the company’s marketing of them violates the FD&C Act.

According to the letter, “Because your products are intended to prevent, mitigate or treat diseases in animals, they are drugs within the meaning of section 201(g)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act, [21 U.S.C. § 321 (g)(1)(B)].  Moreover, these products are new animal drugs, as defined by section 201(v) of the FD&C Act, [21 U.S.C. § 321(v)], because they are not generally recognized among experts qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of animal drugs, as safe and effective for use under the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling.  They are not the subject of an approved new animal drug application, conditionally approved new animal drug application, or index listing under sections 512, 571, and 572 of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. §§ 360b, 360ccc, and 360ccc-1].  Therefore, the products are unsafe within the meaning of section 512(a) of the FD&C Act, [21 U.S.C. § 360b(a)], and adulterated under section 501(a)(5) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. § 351(a)(5)]. ”
