Class II · Moderate risk Terminated Initiated Sep 9, 2013 (13 years ago)

HCG Premium Hormone-Free Drops recall

Recalled by Borinquen Natural · Carolina, PR, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

Distributed dietary supplements with the following claims: "drops the fat, expels toxins, break down fat, block carbohydrates, suppresses appetite, suppresses fat absorption, creates a balance in the thyroid". In addition, the firm's website claimed to repair body tissue, such as minor ulcers and to contain anti-cancer compounds.

Some of these cause harm only with repeated exposure (lead in spices, for example), others act within hours (histamine poisoning from spoiled fish). All chemical contamination recalls.

FDA's distribution note: PR only.

Check the codes, then return or discard. Class II means eating it may cause temporary or reversible health problems. If your package matches the recalled codes, do not eat it - return it to the store or throw it away. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
