The retail giant, alongside Ariella Naturals and Justified Laboratories, was issued a warning last week for selling products the agency says weren't tested for safety or quality of effectiveness. It said that selling these products interstate violates the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

What specific products being sold that violates these laws weren't specifically named.
