Gear Isle Recalls Sex-Enhancement Chocolates After FDA Finds Hidden ED Drugs

Hidden erectile dysfunction drugs in candies can trigger dangerous blood-pressure drops for people who take nitrate medications.

Overview

  • Gear Isle recalled two sex-enhancement chocolates after the FDA said Thursday they contained undeclared sildenafil and tadalafil.
  • These prescription-strength ingredients can interact with nitrate drugs such as nitroglycerin and can cause a sudden, life-threatening fall in blood pressure.
  • The recall covers Gold Lion Aphrodisiac Chocolate (UPC 795847916279, expires June 2027) and ilum Sex Chocolate (UPC 1002448578911, expires Dec. 25, 2027).
  • The Bay Area seller reports no adverse events, is notifying customers to arrange returns and refunds, and tells buyers to stop using the products and contact a clinician if they have symptoms.
  • The FDA had warned in February against buying ilum, and this step adds to a run of recent recalls of sexual-enhancement foods found to contain hidden erectile-dysfunction drugs.
