injectable stem cell products made from human umbilical cord blood. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv9493592352MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Liveyon marketed

consumers\u2019 health at risk, and multiple users of this firm\u2019s products in fact suffered adverse events,\u201d said Special Agent in Charge Robert Iwanicki of FDA Office of Criminal

CDC\u2019s Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion. \u201cThe rapid response by our public health system identified products marketed as stem cell treatments to be the source of serious infections in dozens of patients. Our message to all consumers and providers is to heed the warning against the use of unapproved products like these with unproven claims of effectiveness for conditions like joint disease, chronic pain, or COVID-19.
