The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall, saying the Gear Isle chocolates in question were found to contain potentially “life-threatening” amounts of prescription drug ingredients, sildenafil and tadalafil, that are commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction and found in Viagra.
The two products listed in the recall are Gold Lion Aphrodisiac Chocolate Male Enhancement Sachet and iLum Sex Chocolate Male Sexual Enhancement Booster.
According to the recall, the use of the products may pose a threat to consumers because the active ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may cause a significant drop in blood pressure that may be life-threatening.
Both chocolates are sold as dietary supplements and were found to contain the “undeclared” pharmaceutical ingredients. According to the FDA, manufacturers of such supplements are responsible for ensuring the product’s safety.
Gear Isle said it is notifying its customers and arranging for returns and refunds of all recalled products. Consumers who have the products have been urged to stop using them and return them for a refund.
Consumers with questions regarding the recall can contact Gear Isle customer service at 888-387-4753.
