Sex chocolate retailer issues recall over undeclared ingredients used to treat ED
Another sex chocolate retailer has issued a national recall over undeclared ingredients used to treat erectile dysfunction, following several similar recalls in recent weeks.
Michigan-based Nalpac announced Monday it was recalling DTF Sexual Chocolate, which it had purchased and resold, after the product was found to contain sildenafil and tadalafil, which were not listed on the packaging.
Sildenafil and tadalafil are active ingredients in the erectile dysfunction drugs Viagra and Cialis, respectively.
While Viagra and Cialis are approved drugs by the Food and Drug Administration, they must be used under the supervision of a licensed health care professional, a company announcement about the recall explained.
Undeclared sildenafil and tadalafil could interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs and “may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels” for people who take those medications, the announcement warned.
While Nalpac warns of the potential danger of consuming the recalled chocolate, the company noted that it had not received any reports of adverse reactions as of Tuesday. Consumers are advised to contact their doctor if they experience any medical problems that may be related to the recall.
The recalled chocolate was sold in adult retail stores and online at shopsexology.com and royalsins.com.
Nalpac is sending emails to its customers notifying them of the recall. Consumers and retailers who have the recalled chocolate are advised to stop using or selling the product and either dispose of or return it.
The Independent has reached out to Nalpac for comment.
California-based Gear Isle recalled its Gold Lion Aphrodisiac Chocolate Sachet and ilum Sex Chocolate last month after they were found to contain undeclared sildenafil and tadalafil.
There were also a couple of recalls involving Boner Bears sexual enhancement products, including their chocolate syrup.
Texas-based Lockout Supplements recalled the chocolate syrup in February over concerns that sildenafil was contained in the product but not listed on its label.
Boner Bears Honey was recalled by Florida-based Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements, LLC, last month after an FDA lab analysis confirmed it contained undeclared sildenafil and tadalafil.
The company’s Red Bull Extreme and Blue Bull Extreme erotic honey products were also recalled at the time over concerns they contained sildenafil, not listed on the packaging.
