Waypoint Biomedical Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: WYPH) announced today that the Federal Drug Administration, FDA, has directed WayPoint to cease promoting, marketing and selling its "trans-dermal patch products." It further informed the company that it could not use the word "Hangover" on its packaging as it depicts a "disease" and is in violation of the FDA's rules and regulations. The FDA also determined that the Company's products were a "drug delivery system" and therefore were in violation of rules and regulations as defined by the FDA. The Company was given permission by the FDA to sell its products in the International markets and would be allowed to continue to manufacture its "trans-dermal" products for export only. The Company is evaluating its position of marketing, promoting and selling its products internationally in order to determine the feasibility and economics of such a plan.

WayPoint Biomedical Holdings, Inc. also announced that, effective February 6, 2009, President, Chief Operating Officer and Director Bret Hendzel was relieved of all of his employment positions and duties with the Company for cause. Mr. Hendzel was offered a severance package, which he declined. As a result, the Company will be pursuing its legal remedies in order to recover Company shares issued to Mr. Hendzel based upon claims that the company asserts against Mr. Hendzel for various alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, including breaches arising out of the actions taken by the FDA as noted here: Superior Court filing, County of Orange, Case number 00123894.
