About this source
FDA Warning Letters are public notifications to firms the agency believes are significantly violating FDA regulations. Common triggers include Current Good Manufacturing Practice violations, unauthorized drug claims, substandard clinical trial conduct, unapproved marketing, and tobacco sales to minors. Letters require a written response within 15 working days. Around 75 letters land each month across drug manufacturers, medical device makers, tobacco retailers, and dietary supplement companies. Watch this if you run a regulated manufacturing operation, advise on FDA compliance, defend companies in enforcement matters, or track quality-system failures that precede recall events. GovPing publishes each letter with the recipient, agency division, and cited violations.
What changed
FDA determined that the SMGT-GLT-1 Nano Microneedle Patch sold through the FormPour eBay store constitutes an unapproved new drug under Section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, as it is not generally recognized as safe and effective for its marketed uses. The product labeling makes drug claims for diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease and for affecting body structure or function, triggering drug classification under Section 201(g)(1). The introduction or delivery of this unapproved new drug into interstate commerce violates Sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act.
Affected parties selling similar products marketed with therapeutic claims via online marketplaces should review their labeling and product claims. Online sellers of health-related products, particularly those making diabetes, weight loss, or cardiovascular protection claims, face heightened FDA scrutiny. Failure to adequately address violations may lead to regulatory or legal action including seizure and injunction.
What to do next
- Respond in writing within fifteen working days of receipt of the letter with specific steps taken to correct violations
- Include explanation of each step being taken to prevent recurrence of violations
- Provide copies of related documentation
- Send response to FDA via email at FDAAdvisory@fda.hhs.gov with firm name and '722215' in subject line

RE: 722215
Shuja Arshad:
This letter is to advise you that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed your eBay store at https://www.ebay.com/str/formpour in December 2025. The FDA has observed that your eBay store offers “SMGT-GLT-1 Nano Microneedle Patch” for sale in the United States. Based on our review, this product is an unapproved new drug under section 505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 355(a). As explained further below, introducing or delivering this product for introduction into interstate commerce violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).
Based on a review of your eBay store, your “SMGT-GLT-1 Nano Microneedle Patch” product is a drug as defined by section 201(g)(1) of the FD&C Act 21, U.S.C. 321(g)(1) because it is intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease and/or intended to affect the structure or function of the body.
Examples from your product labeling, including on your eBay store, that provide evidence of the intended use (as defined in 21 CFR 201.128) of this product as a drug include, but may not be limited to, the following:
SMGT-GLT-1 Nano Microneedle Patch
On the webpage https://www.ebay.com/itm/376775334757?_skw=smgt-glp-1+nano+microneedle+patch&itmmeta=01KCKN9J0DKBD2MW9SRESK76%E2%80%A6:
- “The patch contains a blend of fat-burning ingredients (such as caffeine, green tea extract, or other thermogenic compounds) that work to help stimulate fat metabolism, reduce cellulite, and promote a smoother, slimmer appearance.”
- “For: Type 2 Diabetes Treatment Weight Loss Cardiovascular Protection”
- “Global User Survey Results 98.6% Type 2 Diabetes Treatment Weight Loss Aid 97.5% 98.1% Cardiovascular Protection” Your “SMGT-GLT-1 Nano Microneedle Patch” product is a “new drug” under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(p), because it is not generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) for use under the above-described conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling. With certain exceptions not applicable here, a new drug may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved application from FDA in effect, as described in section 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(a). No approved application pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, is in effect for this product. Accordingly, this product is an unapproved new drug. The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of this unapproved new drug product violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).

This letter notifies you of our concerns and provides you an opportunity to address them. Failure to adequately address this matter may lead to regulatory or legal action including, without limitation, seizure and injunction.
