Weight Loss, Dietary Supplements, Energy Booster, Sexual Enhancement Products Recalled

Fruta Planta

Fruta Planta, Passion Coffee and Rock Hard Extreme, marketed as dietary supplements, weight loss products, energy boosters and sexual enhancement products have been recalled for unlisted Sulfoaildenafil (steroid) and Food and Drug Administration unapproved sibutramine.

PRock Marketing of Kissimmee, Fla., is recalling all Fruta Planta and Reduce Weight Fruta Planta products, sold online and through e-mail advertising and infomercials. Fruta Planta contains sibutramine, a drug withdrawn by the FDA for health and safety issues. The FDA has received numerous reports of health problems linked to Fruta Planta, including heart complications and one death. Here is the Fruta Planta product image, listed under the FDA Medical Product Fraud department. Note that it is marketed as "100% organic." Fruta Planta proclaims to help users lose 25 pounds in one month with "no adverse side effects" and "no exercise;" 25 pounds in one month isn't even healthy weight loss, let alone the fact Fruta Planta does contain dangerous sibutramine. If you have any Fruta Planta in your home, you are urged to discard it in a sealed container.

Drive Total Energy has recalled Passion Coffee and Rock Hard Extreme, marketed as energy boosters, sexual enhancements and dietary supplements. Passion Coffee and Rock Hard Extreme contain an analog or hybrid of Sildenafil called Sulfoaildenafil. Sildenafil has been declared safe for use with erectile dysfunction. The analog Sulfoaildenafil has not been FDA approved for safety. Also Total Drive Energy Passion Coffee and Rock Hard Extreme have not declared Sulfoaildenafil in their products. Erectile Dysfunction drugs are very dangerous for consumers with heart problems or those who are prescription medication for cholesterol, hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes or a heart condition. Additionally, men who take these medications are usually at risk for Erectile Dysfunction and may seek out products like Magic Coffee, Rock Hard Extreme and Total Drive Energy. These products join Duro Extend, Magic Coffee Powder, and Man Up Now as products recalled for undeclared Sulfoaildenafil.

With the list of steroid tainted dietary supplements, weight loss products, energy boosters and sexual enhancements growing longer, Consumers are advised beware of all products sold in this category, especially those sold online or marketed by email or infomercial. Customers should be cautious about purchasing products labeled in a foreign language. Imported products like Fruta Planta are to be avoided especially because most foreign countries have very different product health and safety standards. Very often, health products imported from foreign countries do not follow product labeling laws. "Truth in Advertising" is a huge problem with foreign made and marketed goods. Currently, the United States has relatively tariff- free trade with these countries, so consumers have unapproved, potentially dangerous drugs readily available.
