The FDA issued a warning to InfoWars founder Alex Jones, who is known to peddle conspiracy theories, to cease selling a line of silver products on the InfoWars store that he falsely claims can treat the novel coronavirus.

The warning gave Jones 48 hours to report back to the FDA regarding how he had addressed the listed violations.

The four products listed in the FDA's warning appear to have been removed from the InfoWars store.

The FDA has previously warned that colloidal silver is not an effective treatment for any disease, including COVID-19.

The FDA has issued InfoWars founder Alex Jones a warning to stop making false coronavirus claims regarding a variety of products previously sold on the InfoWars store. The products, which included a gargle spray, a wound dressing gel, and two different kinds of toothpaste, appear to have been taken down from the store following the FDA's warning.

In a warning letter issued on April 9, the FDA called out a number Jones' videos in which he promotes products from the InfoWars store, touting them as coronavirus treatments. In one video posted on March 10, Jones claimed, "the patented Nano Silver we have, the Pentagon has come out and documented, and homeland security have said this stuff kills the whole SARS corona family, at point blank range." In another video from March 10, Jones promoted the products as a way to boost users' immune systems, saying that "regardless of how deadly this virus is . . . if it kills you, it's bad news."

The FDA requested that Jones take immediate action to cease the sale of unapproved and unauthorized products for the "mitigation, prevention, treatment, diagnosis, or cure of COVID-19," giving him 48 hours to respond to the warning and detail the ways in which he had corrected the listed violations. As of publishing, all four of the products specifically listed in the warning letter, are unavailable on the InfoWars store.

The FDA previously cautioned consumers against purchasing fraudulent coronavirus tests, treatments, and vaccines. Previously, the state of Missouri sued televangelist Jim Bakker over claims that colloidal silver could cure the coronavirus; the FDA has also previously warned that colloidal silver is not safe for treating any disease or condition.
