Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements, LLC is voluntarily recalling three sexual enhancement honey products nationwide because laboratory testing found they contain undeclared prescription ingredients used to treat erectile dysfunction.
The recalled items are Boner Bear Honey, Red Bull Extreme, and Blue Bull Extreme. FDA analysis showed Boner Bear Honey contains both sildenafil and tadalafil, while Red Bull Extreme and Blue Bull Extreme contain sildenafil. Those active ingredients are in the FDA-approved drugs Viagra and Cialis, which require a doctor’s supervision.
The undeclared substances can interact dangerously with nitrates in some heart medications, such as nitroglycerin, and drop blood pressure to unsafe levels. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease are especially at risk.
The products are marketed as dietary supplements and sold in single-serving plastic tubes. The brand names on the outer box and individual tubes identify them.
Specific recalled lots include:
- Boner Bear Honey, lot # BBH0128, EXP 01/28, UPC 788362191603
- Red Bull Extreme, batch ORB524, manufactured May 2024, EXP May 2029, UPC 9554100205595
- Blue Bull Extreme, EXP 02/2029, UPC 707443349917
The Tampa-based company is not the manufacturer but initiated the recall after receiving FDA test results. It has notified customers by email and is urging consumers to stop using the products and throw them away.
No illnesses or adverse events have been reported so far.
Consumers who bought the items from Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund, including shipping. Questions can be directed to the company at 1-800-362-4772 or [email protected] Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time.
Anyone who has experienced a problem after using the products is asked to report it to the FDA’s MedWatch program at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
