PROBLEMS MULTIPLY FOR STARCAPS

Thankfully, many (if not most) of our readers are smarter than us. A couple of them pointed out that the manufacturers of StarCaps are facing huge potential problems if (as has been reported as early as last November) that StarCaps contains Bumetanide. Bumetanide is an FDA-regulated drug, which cannot be dispensed without a prescription. So, basically, the folks selling StarCaps on an over-the-counter basis were (if Bumetanide is in StarCaps) blatantly violating federal law. (The folks who make the Bumetanide that was making its way into StarCaps might also have some explaining to do.) As another reader who knows more about bankruptcy law than I do (and that’s not saying much) pointed out, the fact that Saints guard Jamar Nesbit has already filed suit won’t make much of a difference, since the mere existence of unresolved litigation won’t give Nesbit priority over the so-called unsecured creditors.
