Beware of What You Buy Through the Mail
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
April 25 2008 | 1,152 views

“Boom,” a type of chocolate that said it contained “plant-based food supplements” actually contained sildenafil -- a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction sold under various names, including Viagra.

The “Boom” chocolates were distributed between March 2006 and November 2007 through the Yoi Jin Sei company in the United States, Australia, Colombia, Switzerland, Russia, Argentina, Japan and Slovakia.

Tibor Liska, who sold about 12,000 packets of the chocolate a month, has been charged with mail fraud and could be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years behind bars, and a fine of $250,000, if found guilty.
