New York’s attorney general is demanding more information from big U.S. retailers including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and GNC Holdings Inc. about the herbal supplements they sell, a person familiar with the matter said.
The request for information on ingredients and health claims is the latest move in Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s probe of the $32 billion U.S. dietary supplement industry. Last week, he told the retailers to remove some products from their shelves because he said they lacked key ingredients.
