Raids sought records in 'trafficking of pesticides'
Federal agents who executed search warrants at a medical supplier's business on Guam and Saipan were looking to seize financial, shipping, phone and business transaction records related to a product that is being marketed in parts of the world as a "blocker" against the virus that causes COVID-19.
But while it was being sold on Guam and in other Pacific islands as a virus buster, the product is a "pesticide" and uses a chemical that's harmful to human health, according to records.
The product that has prompted the raid at the facilities of MedPharm Inc. on Guam and Saipan is called SDS Blocker CL-40. The product was marketed on Guam as a "personal space sanitizer, deodorizer and shield of protection from viruses, germs and pollen."

MedPharm issued a statement Thursday afternoon that it is cooperating fully with all law enforcement authorities.
