There is a far greater health and life risk in food diet, especially fat foods, junk foods candies, icecream pop, etc than in the herbals, yet nobody is clamoring for additional regulation of the food industry.
I believe all of these things should be regulated,
very heavily. Much junk food should be sold in the poison aisle, and 'herbals' in the gardening section. It really comes down to an issue of mislabeling... everything's mislabeled and sold as something it's not, always intentionally so.
