The following recalls have been announced:
- Jack Distribution LLC and its two wholesale distributors - G & N Works Inc. and Devine Distribution Inc. - are recalling select lots of Rize 2 The Occasion and Rose 4 Her supplements because they may contain erectile dysfunction drug components that are not declared on the packaging. The supplements may contain thiomethisosildenafil, a chemical that mimics the active ingredient in Viagra. This compound could interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease. If the active drug ingredients interact with nitrates, it could cause blood pressure to drop to dangerous levels.
Rize 2 The Occasion was available in single blister packs, and bottles containing three, 12 or 30 pills. Rose 4 Her was available in single blister packs and bottles containing three pills. Both products were sold online and in adult, vitamin and nutrition and convenience stores.
