Etsy Pulls Listings After Which? Finds Illegal Injectable Vitamins and ED Pills in Orders

Consumer advocates warn illegal listings keep reappearing despite removals.

Overview

  • Which? investigators bought four injectable products from two Etsy sellers and found listings lacking required ingredient, dosage and warning information with some using generic packaging.
  • Lab tests on loose pills included with one order detected sildenafil and tadalafil, which are prescription‑only medicines in the UK.
  • Vials arrived with foreign‑language instructions and packaging indicating India and Spain origins, suggesting the products were not authorised for UK sale.
  • MummyWorldTreasures and LuminaSkin were closed after Which? reported the sellers to Etsy and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency.
  • Etsy said the flagged listings are no longer available and it is monitoring for violations, while Which? also reported a leaked multivitamin vial and warned similar B12 listings have reappeared.
