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.
