To determine the value of a health care product or treatment, consult a pharmacist, doctor, or other health professional.
To report a company for falsely labeling its products or to report a serious adverse effect associated with the use of a dietary supplement, call your local Food and Drug Administration office.
For information about a particular hospital, clinic, or treatment center, contact state or local health authorities where the facility is located. If it is in a foreign country, contact that government's health authority to see that the facility is properly licensed and equipped to handle the procedures involved. For information about facilities in Mexico, contact the Secretary of Health (Secretaria De Salud) in the Mexican state where the facility is located. Here is a list of phone numbers for Mexican states that border the U.S.:
Baja California (112) 201-38 Sonora (62) 13-42-81 Chihuahua (41) 13-38-05 Coahuila (84) 15-57-33 Nuevo Leon (8) 343-31-37 Tamaulipas (131) 222-93
In addition, you may wish to contact your state Attorney General's office or a local consumer agency to get more information or to report problems. These offices are listed in your telephone directory. You can file a complaint with the FTC by contacting the Consumer Response Center by phone: 202-FTC-HELP (382-4357); TDD: 202-326-2502; by mail: Consumer Response Center, Federal Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20580; or through the Internet, using the online complaint form. Although the Commission cannot resolve individual problems for consumers, it can act against a company if it sees a pattern of possible law violations.
