Why it was recalled

Marketed Without An Approved NDA/ANDA: tainted product marketed as a dietary supplement. Product found to be tainted with undeclared phenolphthalein, an ingredient found in over-the-counter laxative products that was withdrawn from the US market due to concerns of carcinogenicity, making it an unapproved drug.

Class I is the FDA’s most serious recall level: there is a reasonable probability that using this product will cause serious harm or death.
