Promptly address the violations described herein without delay, including ensuring that appropriate resources are allocated to fully address the violations and prevent their recurrence. This is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of the violations that may exist in connection with your products or operations.

2FDA Review

2 paragraphs

Violations were identified and documented during review of the product labeling of products purchased on your website www.amazon.com in May 2026. FDA purchased “Vajraang Phimosis Mini Combo,” “Penile Heal Cream,” and “Beilloso Balanitis Relief Cream,” through your website and these products were introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce by Amazon via your Fulfillment by Amazon service.1 Based on our review, “Vajraang Phimosis Mini Combo,” “Penile Heal Cream,” and “Beilloso Balanitis Relief Cream” are unapproved new drugs under section 505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 355(a). As explained further below, introducing or delivering these products for introduction into interstate commerce violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).

This review was conducted as part of FDA’s public health responsibility to protect the public from unsafe, ineffective, and poor-quality drugs.

6Penile Heal Cream

7Beilloso Balanitis Relief Cream2

3 paragraphs

“Helps relieve redness, itching & irritation from balanitis”

“Balanitis Relief Cream”

“Vajraang Phimosis Mini Combo,” “Penile Heal Cream,” and “Beilloso Balanitis Relief Cream” are “new drugs” under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(p), because they are not generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) for use under the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in their labeling. With certain exceptions not applicable here, a new drug may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved application from FDA in effect, as described in section 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(a). No approved applications pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, are in effect for these products. Accordingly, these products are unapproved new drugs. The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of these unapproved new drug products violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).

Each of the products discussed below was “fulfilled” by Amazon; your website states, “Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a program that lets you outsource order fulfillment to Amazon and offer customers free, two-day shipping through Prime. By enrolling in FBA, you can send your products into Amazon’s global network of fulfillment centers, and we’ll pick, pack, and ship orders, as well as handle customer service and returns.

2 The only permitted indications under “Over-the-Counter (OTC) Monograph M005: Topical Antifungal Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use” (M005) are for the treatment of athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm and for relief of itching, scaling, cracking, burning, redness, soreness, irritation, discomfort, and chafing associated with jock itch. Your product, “Beilloso Balanitis Relief Cream,” is intended to provide relief from balanitis symptoms, which goes beyond the permissible claims under M005. “Beilloso Balanitis Relief Cream” does not conform to M005 or any other final administrative order, thus there is no basis under section 505G of the FD&C Act under which this product could be legally marketed without an approved application.
