Online pep sellers get threatening letters from the feds?

[desinr-gal]

I bought a couple of vials from Atomik Labz so now I'm getting email updates. They launched a huge purge sale recently, because they had received a notice from the feds threatening action. a Cease and desist.. Not to sell anymore GLP peptides.
Their email says they just discovered that in fact, this letter was a fake.
They now believe it is a competitor sending out these letters to scare off the other sellers!

I know the FDA sent letters to some peptide vendors. Before I knew anything, I ordered from Prime Peptides and they were on the list of vendors that got letters from the FDA. Luckily I was able to return it for a refund.

I saw the same communications from them. Crazy!
Real question is what will they do? I’d have a high level discussion within my own company if that nonsense came from the other guys and/or the feds. It’s a matter of time I think before language runs out of creativity and these people shut the briefcase full of cash and move on to the next thing.

The FDA and Lilly occasionally send out these threat letters, or else actually file actions. Its always going to be a shell game. 2 of my favorite domestic vendors shut down in 2024 over legitimate threats.

Could be. Or they were just trying to drum up sales.

Maybe. But they did say please dont panic buy; we wont stop selling these.

"At the start of this month, we received what appeared to be an official letter from a federal agency advising us to remove specific products from our website. Out of respect for the seriousness of such a notice, we immediately contacted our legal team and were advised to comply with the requests while working on a formal response. At the same time, we decided to begin the liquidation sale of mentioned products.

At the same time, yesterday while our legal team attempted to reply to the contact information provided, our email bounced back. At this time, further investigation was initiated and our legal team confirmed what we never expected — the letter was fake.

We have since learned that similar letters were sent to other companies in our industry. While healthy competition is part of business, impersonating a government agency is a serious federal crime, and we are deeply disappointed that such a tactic was used. The letter was sent with very ill intentions, with what we can only suspect is from industry competition.

As a result of this letter, we began a liquidation sale yesterday, believing we would need to remove these products permanently. Now that we know the truth, we want to be fully transparent: we will NOT be discontinuing the products mentioned in that letter. "
