Even though there are consequences for speaking openly and frankly on a social media site like Facebook; one consequence should not be "warning letters" from the federal government and I don't care how fervently they disagree. The only exception to this rule would be if someone is threatening to hurt another, hurt themselves or something of this nature, and even in THIS case they need to be careful.
Unfortunately, I can't say that censoring free speech is something new. It's certainly not the first time that the FDA attempted this, and it needs to stop. One of the things that makes America so great, is the fact that the Constitution grants us free speech. Free as in the FDA can express their opinion and that's it. Issuing warnings is NOT acceptable; not when someone is expressing what they like about a product.
There is a link below that gives the full story. Please take the time to read it, but even more so, please take action. You may be the next person who receives a warning from the FDA for expressing your opinions.
