WASHINGTON, Nov 4, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration announced the recall of 65 products sold online by
Bodybuilding.com that might contain steroids.
The FDA said the voluntary nationwide and international recalls were initiated
by Bodybuilding.com LLC of Boise, Idaho, of all lots and expiration dates of the
dietary supplements that might contain ingredients that are or should be
classified as steroids, such as "Superdrol," "Madol," "Tren," "Androstenedione,"
and "Turinabol."
The FDA said the use of steroid-containing products can result in acute liver
injury, among other adverse health consequences that include male infertility
and increased risk of heart attack, stroke and death.
Bodybuilding.com officials said they agreed to the recall despite receiving
assurances from all of the manufacturers that the recalled products were
properly classified as dietary supplements in compliance with federal law, and
did not contain any unlawful ingredient.
Consumers with questions can contact the company at 866-236-8417.
