FDA warned Augustine about claims

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a Warning Letter to 3M competitor Scott Augustine in 2012 for making claims about his company’s device that were not supported by data submitted to the FDA. The FDA said Augustine’s Hot Dog Warming System is “adulterated’’ and “misbranded’’ as a result of the claims made by Augustine.

From the FDA letter: “Please notify this office in writing within fifteen business days from the date you receive this letter of the specific steps that your firm has taken to correct the noted violations, as well as an explanation of how your firm plans to prevent these violations, or similar violations, from occurring again.’’
