US chains pull dietary supplements off shelves
NY A-G threatens legal action for unsubstantiated claims
New York
THE New York state attorney-general's office issued subpoenas to four major retailers on Wednesday demanding that they provide evidence for a variety of health claims printed on the labels of the dietary supplements sold in their New York stores. The subpoenas were sent as part of an investigation into store-brand herbal supplements carried at Walgreens, Wal-Mart, GNC and Target.
