THE F-D-A IS ORDERING A PERSONAL GENETICS COMPANY TO STOP SELLING D-N-A TEST KITS.
REGULATORS SAY “23-AND-ME” IS VIOLATING FEDERAL LAWS.
THE SILICON VALLEY COMPANY PROMISES TO IDENTIFY ANCESTRY INFORMATION AS WELL AS HEALTH RISKS FOR MORE THAN 250 DISEASES.
BUT…THE F-D-A SAYS ONLY MEDICAL TESTS THAT IT HAS APPROVED ARE ALLOWED TO ADVERTISE THAT.
A SPOKESWOMAN FOR “23-AND-ME” ADMITS IT HAS NOT GOTTEN THE NEEDED APPROVALS.
