PC-SPES RECALLED, LAWSUITS FILED, INDICTMENTS ISSUED

BotanicLab, maker of PC-SPES,Issues Product Recall

The first tangible indication of real trouble began February 7, 2002 with a warning from the California Department of Health. Shortly thereafter, BotanicLAB, the maker of PC-SPES, voluntarily recalled the product, and on June 1, 2002, the company ceased operation. On February 14, 2003, California Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally introduced into the state legislature AB-421, a bill to revive PC-SPES.

However, on June 2, 2003, a grand jury in Orange County, CA issued criminal indictments against the principles of the company (Sophie and John Chen and Alan Wang). Arraignment is scheduled for June 23

California AB-421 has been put on hold, and the estimated 10,000 American men who had been using PC-SPES to control their prostate cancer are now looking for other remedies. And the scientists who had been keenly interested in this novel compound are now in a quandry.

The outcome of this legal case will be watched with intense interest by both the lay and scientific communities.
