The Food and Drug Administration sent a warning letter Thursday ordering Jones to stop falsely claiming that toothpaste, mouth wash and other products sponsored by his show can help prevent COVID-19.
Jones, known for pushing conspiracy theories about school shootings and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, touted the products on multiple shows last month, according to the letter.The agency states that by making these claims Jones is promoting illegal, unapproved drugs, which can carry financial penalties and risk product seizures by government agents.
The letter gives Jones' company, Infowars.com, 48 hours to remove or correct the false material. FDA warnings are not legally binding, but the agency can take individuals to court if they are ignored.The FDA has not approved any treatments or vaccines against the coronavirus, and the National Institutes of Health says no scientific evidence exists to suggest alternative remedies help.
The FDA warning follows earlier government warnings against Jones last month. New York's attorney general Letita James sent a cease-and-desist letter March 12 demanding Jones stop promoting many of the same phoney products.The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Department of Science Education.

Stop it!
Today’s example that you cannot contain or isolate stupidity ...
And who will sanction you for parroting PMJT's restricting flights is racist lines and other far out and dangerous theories?
Alex was right again!
And earth is flat.....
He's applying more zinc after gurgling aquarium cleaner.
This is very easy to solve, inject him with Covid19 and ask him which of his “remedies” he wants to use.
Shouldn't they be telling that to Trump
You mean my Super Male Vitality won't protect me? Next you'll tell me my Bone Broth won't either.
I trust Alex Jones a lot more than I trust CTVNews, CBCnews or CNN
He is Alan Krumwiede? 🤔🤔
CTV should stop pitching bogus news FakeNews
I listen to him every day and I have never once heard his say his tooth paste cured Corona virus. This is pure BS.
He is not pitching 'Bogus' remedies.
People like this should be locked in a mental facility getting the help they need.
'This virus remedy will even help you grow your beard out, thicker, stronger, faster, longer!' Yep, definitely something Alex Jones would say about male enhancement drugs as well.
He will stop pitching fake remedies when you will stop pitching fake news what about that?
Leave the poor man alone
He’s not even on any platforms but his own so there isn’t much they can do. If you’re going to deplatform somebody I guess you don’t get a say anymore
Please whoever rules the universe, make Alex Jones disappear
This is how you dunk on Conservatives. Great job Trumps FDA!
Alex Jones has the cure to the virus
