In a stunning development, the FDA earlier this year issued a warning to Kirkman Industries, Inc. ordering the company to immediately discontinue marketing of its fluoride supplements (sodium fluoride-containing drops, tablets and lozenges) because FDA has never approved them as safe and effective for preventing tooth decay.
