NRC Proposes $9,000 Fine Against Puerto Rico Medical Facility for Loss of Radioactive Material
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has proposed a $9,000 civil penalty to Rio Piedras Sono-Nuclear Center for a violation of NRC requirements involving the loss of licensed material.
In May 2025 Rio Piedras Sono-Nuclear, located in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, notified the NRC that an unused vial of lutetium-177 had been improperly disposed of. The vial holding the isotope, which is used for targeted nuclearmedicine therapy for certain types of tumors and prostate cancer, was inside its lead transfer container, which was in a cardboard shipping box, when the shipping box was disposed of. No radiation overexposures are believed to have occurred.
An NRC inspection from May-June 2025 reviewed the details of the loss of radioactive material. The agency identified one apparent violation of NRC requirements related to the failure to appropriately dispose of NRC-licensed materials. The NRC documented the inspection and the proposed violation in a December 2025 report.
Rio Piedras Sono-Nuclear has instituted corrective actions that include additional procedures on the proper handling of shipping boxes to ensure they are empty prior to disposal. The facility has documented completing additional training for its nuclear medicine staff on these new procedures. The NRC has concluded that the company's response to the violation is adequate and compliance with NRC requirements has been addressed.
The company has 30 days to pay the proposed penalty, contest the penalty in writing, or request alternative dispute resolution with the NRC to resolve this issue.

The USITC will make a final determination in the investigation at the earliest practicable time. Within 45 days after institution of the investigation, the USITC will set a target date for completing the investigation. USITC remedial orders in section 337 cases are effective when issued and become final 60 days after issuance unless disapproved for policy reasons by the U.S. Trade Representative within that 60-day period.

FTC Sends Checks to Consumers Who Bought Certain Products from Golden Sunrise Nutraceutical Between 2017 and 2020
*
The Federal Trade Commission is sending checks to eligible consumers who bought certain products deceptively marketed by Golden Sunrise Nutraceutical, Inc. between July 2017 and July 2020.
In June 2021, the FTC announced a settlement order with Dr. Stephen Meis, the medical director of Golden Sunrise over allegations he took part in deceptively advertising a $23,000 treatment plan asa scientifically proven way to treat COVID-19, and used false or unproven claims that other treatment plans could cure cancer and Parkinson's disease. Meis was barred from making similar unsupported health claims in the future and ordered to pay $103,420, which the FTC is using for its payments to consumers.
In September 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California issued a summary decision in the FTC's favor against the remaining defendants-Golden Sunrise Nutraceutical, Golden Sunrise Pharmaceutical, and Huu Tieu-and barred them from making unsupported health claims in the future.
In January 2025, the FTC sent claim forms to consumers who bought certain deceptively marketed treatment plans from Golden Sunrise, between July 2017 and July 2020, including: Primary Plan of Care, Emergency D-Virus Plan of Care, Metabolic Plan of Care, and Cancer Plan of Care.
The FTC is sending checks totaling more than $40,700 to 578 affected consumers. Eligible consumers who submitted a valid claim are getting all their money back. The remaining eligible consumers who did not submit a claim are getting a check for $20. Recipients should cash their checks within 90 days, as indicated on the check.
The agency also is mailing claim IDs to those eligible consumers who have not yet submitted a claim. These recipients can file a claim online for an additional payment at www.ftc.gov/GoldenSunrise. The deadline to submit a claim is May 12, 2026.
Consumers who have questions about their payment or the claims process should contact the refund administrator, Simpluris, at 844-804-3922 or by email at info@goldensunriserefund.com (link sends email). The Commission never requires people to pay money or provide account information to get a payment.
