African Black Ant, Black Ant, and Mojo Risen by Eugene Oregon, Inc: Recall - Undeclared Drug Ingredient
Audience: Consumer, Health Professional
[Posted 5/6/2014]
ISSUE: Eugene Oregon, Inc. is voluntarily conducting this recall 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. Conclusive testing has not been done to confirm that the recalled products do, in fact, contain sildenafil and/or tadalafil and this recall is being executed as a precautionary measure.
Sildenafil and tadalafil can pose a threat to consumers because they can interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin), resulting in decreased blood pressure. Nitrates are found in prescription drugs used to treat diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Sildenafil and tadalafil can also cause side effects such as headaches and flushing.
BACKGROUND: Eugene Oregon, Inc. has discontinued the distribution of these products and is notifying its distributors by mail of this voluntary recall. Please see Press Release for lot number identification.
