Justice Department Charges Executives In Dietary Supplement Fraud Case

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Justice Department has brought criminal and civil charges against two dietary supplement manufacturers.

The indictment names six executives with Dallas-based USP Labs and Anaheim-based SK Laboratories.

The companies are responsible for top selling workout and weight loss supplements "Jacked " and "OxyElite Pro."

Prosecutors say the companies doctored paperwork and labels to make it appear the products contained a natural plant extract, when they
actually contained a chemical manufactured in China.

OxyElite Pro has been off the shelves since 2013, when it was recalled for links to liver failure.
