The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on companies looking to take advantage of H1N1/swine flu fears.

The FDA has issued warnings to more than 50 online retailers in the past month. The retailers have been offering products ranging from tests claiming to detect the virus to shampoos that promise to protect against it.

Two-thirds of the retailers have since removed the claims. The FDA says it is considering legal action against the rest.
