Executive Summary
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin enters a consent decree of condemnation and injunction against Beehive Botanicals, under which the manufacturer agrees to forfeit certain bee-derived materials to the Department of Justice. The Hayward, Wis., company had product seized this year after FDA found its website made drug claims via links to other sites for its products, including creams and shampoos (1"The Rose Sheet" April 12, 2010). The decree, entered by the court May 14, additionally requires Beehive Botanicals to hire a third-party expert to inspect its labeling and certify the corrections to FDA, according to a DoJ release
