The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announces that Dover Plains, NY, GNMART INC is voluntarily recalling all lots of Force Forever for joint Pain, 60 Tablets packaged in a white plastic bottle with a red cap, labeled as "FORCE FOREVER", to the consumer level. FDA analysis has found product to contain undeclared Diclofenac and Dexamethasone.
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (commonly referred to as NSAIDs). NSAIDs may cause increased risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, as well as serious gastrointestinal damage, including bleeding, ulceration, and fatal perforation of the stomach and intestines.
