American Aquarium Products marketed three unapproved veterinary drugs (AAP Aquatronics Discomed, Myacin, and Spectrogram) containing medically important antimicrobials for treating diseases in aquarium fish without FDA approval or facility registration. The products violated the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by being distributed as unapproved new animal drugs and misbranded products that were neither drug-listed with FDA nor manufactured in FDA-registered facilities. The FDA identified disease treatment claims on the company's website that established the products' intended use as drugs, making their distribution into interstate commerce illegal.
