Disqualification for director whose company marketed potentially toxic cancer “metabolism therapy” (9 September 2016)
Date: 09/09/2016
A company director from Essex has been disqualified for 12 years, after an Insolvency Service investigation and Trading Standards found that his company had sold potentially toxic cancer treatment.
Roger Shelley, 68, from Canewdon in Essex was found to have caused his company The Vitamin Service Limited to breach regulations set out by the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 – and those of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 – by marketing a “metabolic therapy” which was potentially toxic as a treatment to prevent and/or cure cancer.
An investigation carried out by Trading Standards resulted in charges being bought against both The Vitamin Service Limited and Mr Shelley as a director of the company.
Gemma Game, Deputy Head of Investigations, stated:
“When company directors do not comply with legislation designed to protect consumers, the Insolvency Service will fully investigate the circumstances and take action when appropriate.”
