'Use of the product poses a serious threat to consumers,' the FDA said.
There has been a nationwide recall of tainted herbal dietary supplements after they were found to contain hidden drug ingredients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has described the tainted product as a 'serious threat.'Georgia-based supplement company GURU INC. voluntarily recalled a batch of Infla-650 herbal supplements on July 16 after they were found to contain acetaminophen, diclofenac and phenylbutazone, which were not listed on packaging.
Phenylbutazone, the most concerning of the 'hidden drugs,' was discontinued for human use in the U.S. because of health risks.'The most serious and life-threatening injury associated with phenylbutazone treatment is bone marrow toxicity, which occurs when the body does not produce enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and/or platelets,' according to the FDA.
