Pennsylvania Man Admits To Selling Fake Pee Online

A Pennsylvania man faces up to six years in prison after he admitted on Monday to selling fake urine to people hoping to pass drug tests for their jobs.

David Neal, 61, allegedly ran an online business that sold synthetic urine along with other illegal substances meant to dupe drug tests for jobs in the military, for pilots and federal agents, the Dayton Daily News reported.

"All of these products were advertised as and intended to be products designed to conceal the presence of controlled substances in the human body," U.S. Attorney David Hickton wrote, according to the newspaper.

Product names included "Magnum Unisex Synthetic Urine," "Toxin Wash Shampoo," and "URINE LUCK."

Some of the items sold by the company, named ACS Herbal Tea, were "guaranteed to beat" any drug tests. Other items were mislabeled and sent in the wrong packaging, prosecutors said.

The products were meant to beat drug tests administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, according to the Associated Press.

Neal, of Middletown, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to impede, impair, defeat and obstruct lawful government functions and introduction of misbranded drugs into interstate commerce, according to court records obtained by Dayton Daily News.

He is expected to be sentenced May 13.
