McDaniel Water, LLC was warned for selling "Black Indian Salve" as an unapproved new drug in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The product, marketed on their website under multiple names including "Indian Herb" and "X," contained bloodroot and zinc chloride—known corrosive agents capable of causing tissue death and scarring. The company falsely represented the corrosive salve as a dietary supplement suitable for both topical application and ingestion, despite lacking FDA approval. This enforcement action followed a related 2019 warning letter issued to McDaniel Life-Line LLC for the same product type, which had been subject to a voluntary recall and FDA safety alert.
