| The United States: Recall: Voluntary nationwide expansion of the recall of all lots of African Black Ant, Black Ant, And Mojo Risen Dietary Supplements which may contain undeclared prescription substances sildenafil and tadalafil |
| |
Eugene Oregon, Inc. is voluntarily conducting the recall of all lots of African Black Ant, Black Ant, And Mojo Risen Dietary Supplements because FDA analysis of these products distributed to a third party revealed that the distributed products contained undeclared amounts of the active pharmaceutical ingredients sildenafil and tadalafil – FDA-approved pharmaceutical ingredients used to treat erectile dysfunction. Sildenafil and tadalafil can pose a threat to consumers because they can interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. These products are marketed as dietary supplements for sexual enhancement and packaged in tins, envelopes, and/or boxes and were distributed to consumers nationwide at retail stores. Consumers are advised to contact their healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to the use of these products.
