Blue Pearl All Natural Male Enhancement Supplement: Recall - Undeclared Drug Ingredient

[Posted 12/14/2017]

AUDIENCE: Consumer

ISSUE: Marmex Corp is voluntarily recalling all lots of Blue Pearl All Natural Male Enhancement Supplement, 500mg to the consumer level. FDA analysis has found the products to contain sildenafil. The presence of the undeclared active ingredients renders them unapproved drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established.

Use of products with undeclared sildenafil may pose a threat to consumers because the active ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates and might be the most likely to get affected.

BACKGROUND: Blue Pearl All Natural Male Enhancement Supplement capsules were marketed as a dietary supplement for male enhancement and is packaged in 1 unit of blister packs, with upc code - 847046009785. The affected lots are all lot numbers with an expiration date of 7/1/2018.
