Lots of issues and miss information, claims here....
24. The CDC does not approve hydrogen peroxide or disinfectants containing
hydrogen peroxide, but rather defers to the EPA or FDA. Additionally, the Disinfection section
of the CDC’s website explains that “[m]any disinfectants are used alone or in combinations (e.g.,
hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid) in the health-care setting. . . . Commercial formulations
based on these chemicals are considered unique products and must be registered with EPA or
cleared by FDA.”
25. Neither the EPA nor FDA has approved RBII’s Oxi Thyme system or Oxithymol
product.
26. Neither Oxithymol nor Oxi Thyme has ever been registered with the EPA, and
neither appears among the products on the EPA’s “List N,” which consists of products that meet
EPA criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
27. RBII CEO Arthur Hall told FINRA staff that RBII developed but does not use
Oxithymol in its Oxi Thyme system. Hall also told FINRA that Oxithymol was not registered
with the EPA and that testing had not confirmed that Oxithymol could kill the virus that causes
COVID-19. Hall further told FINRA that instead of Oxithymol, RBII had been purchasing,
rebottling, and selling Oxy Blast 50 for use in its Oxi Thyme system. Oxy Blast 50 is a pesticide
manufactured by another company, Essential Water Systems. Oxy Blast 50 is a hydrogen
peroxide solution that was registered with the EPA in 2013 for use in commercial agricultural or
industrial water systems to suppress odors, as a preventative treatment for horticultural diseases,
and as a preventative treatment for plant pathogenic diseases on surfaces, equipment, and
structures used in processing post-harvest commodities.
28. Oxy Blast 50 is not registered with the EPA as a disinfectant that kills viruses and
does not appear on the EPA’s “List N” of products that meet EPA criteria for use against the
virus that causes COVID-19.
