|  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continued to take action in the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic: As part of the FDA's effort to protect consumers, on April 29, 2021 the agency issued a warning letter to Crown Wellness, Inc. for, among other things, selling an unapproved product with COVID-19 claims. Consumers concerned about COVID-19 should consult with their health care provider. - Testing updates:
