I think they would have to remove much of the product too. The FDA is involved because they consider the product to be "intended for use in the diagnosis of disease." I doubt they could say, "our data shows you have disease X but this is for entertainment purposes only."

You're right. They're not going to be able to say "our data shows you have disease X". They probably have no business saying anything of the sort.
