V.MAX Supplement Recall - Male Enhancement VMAX May Affect Blood Pressure

(Update: Looking for the Catfood Recall or Dogfood Recall List? Click the link.)

Lab analysis of V.MAX product samples by the Food and Drug Administration revealed the male enhancement supplement to contain Aminotadalafil, an analogue of Tadalafil.

The FDA approves Tadalafil to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), but only with a doctor's prescription.

By unknowingly taking Aminotadalafil, those who use VMAX are being put at risk for dangerously low blood pressure.

Consumers who have V.MAX in their possession are urged to stop using it immediately and contact their doctor.

March 16, 2007 - Press Release - Cosmos Trading, Inc.
Rhino Max (Rhino V Max) supplement product
Cosmos Trading, Inc. and FDA notified consumers and healthcare professionals of a voluntary nationwide recall of a supplement product sold under the name Rhino Max (Rhino V Max) in 5-tablet boxes or 15-tablet boxes. Lab analysis by FDA of product samples found the product contains Aminotadalafil, an analogue of Tadalafil, an FDA-approved drug used to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED). FDA advised that this poses a threat to consumers because Aminotadalafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. Consumers who have Rhino Max (Rhino V Max) in their possession should stop using it immediately and contact their physician if they experienced any problem that may be related to taking this product.

Pet Product Recall Update - Are Greenies Dog Treats Going to Be Recalled?

In a recent CNN story, it was revealed that at least 13 dogs have died after being fed "a greeny," which is the top-selling dog treat in America.

The Greenies brand dog treats can become stuck in a dog's throat or intestine where, according to some veterinarians, they do not break down properly for swallowing or digestion.

Despite the fact that Greenies are marketed and packaged as being easily digested, a veterinarian from Denver, Colorado told CNN "Certainly the ones that we've taken out, esophageal or intestinal, that have been in for days are still very hard".

At least one set of dog owners, Michael Eastwood and wife Jenny Reiff, have filed a lawsuit against Greenies. They will be taking the dog treat company to court for $5 million in New York, blaming Greenies for the death of their dog Burt.

ATV Recall Bonanza - Recalled Honda 4-Wheelers

They just don't make 'em like they used to. This is the fourth ATV recall we have posted about this month, each from different manufacturers.

This time Honda has recalled about 24,000 of their TRX 400EX Four-Wheelers because of a transmission problem that could allow the rider to downshift from 1st gear into reverse without using the reverse lockout lever.

Although no injuries have been reported, all Honda Model '05 and '06 TRX400EX ATVs are to be returned to the place of purchase for service. Consumers are advised to stop riding these ATV Fourwheelers immediately.

For more information, call Honda at 866-784-1870 or visit the Honda Power Sports website at www.powersports.honda.com .

US Recall News will try to keep you updated on other Four Wheeler (ATV) Recalls in the future, but our advice is to buy a used one. The models from this past year just don't seem to be working out.
Yamaha ATV Recall
Kawasaki ATVs Recalled
Suzuki ATV Recall
and now Honda.
