Lawyers of Angel Group of Companies, producers of Adonko Bitters have petitioned the Food and Drugs Board over its decision to temporarily ban the product.
In a statement, a copy of which was made available to Myjoyonline.com, lawyer Samson Lardy Anyenini said his client has provided all the necessary information to FDA in respect of the incidents surrounding the company’s Easter Monday Adonko Bitters Aseda Bash, which formed the basis for the company's ban.
Scores of patrons of the Adonko Bitters were said to have "passed out" after heavily drinking the bitters during the April 17, bash at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi in the Ashanti region.
The bash was also meant to reward loyal consumers of the product. But the happiness that greeted the programme turned into a nightmare for the company after media reports suggested multiple patrons were left unconscious after drinking the product.
The FDA subsequently banned any activity involving Adonko Bitters but Samson Lardy Anyenini is convinced the regulatory body will reverse its decision once it fully interrogates the detailed information and documentation provided them.
He also stated in the petition that the product sold on the day of the bash was of high quality and approved by the FDA, adding, "the incident of suspected abuse of the product during the special aseda bash event is completely unconnected to the safety and quality of Adonko Bitters."
The following is the full petition to the FDA
