On November 10, 2013 USPLabs, LLC issued a voluntary recall for certain “dietary supplements” marketed under the name OxyElite Pro. Today – November 19, 2013 – USPLabs, LLC expanded the recall to include an additional OxyElite Pro dietary supplement:
Raspberry Lemonade OxyElite Pro Super Thermo Powder
The recall was initiated voluntarily by USPLabs, LLC after a number of consumers using OxyElite Pro products reported cases of acute hepatitis and liver damage. In Hawaii – where the state health department, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched an investigation – two cases resulted in liver transplants and one resulted in death.
Since the initial reports surfaced in Hawaii, several other cases of liver injury and liver failure have been reported in other states, as well as in the military community. Last week, one case of reported liver failure in San Diego prompted the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency to issue a consumer warning for all OxyElite Pro supplements. The FDA had previously released a consumer warning of its own, advising consumers to avoid products labeled OxyElite Pro and VERSA-1.
Although investigations into the precise cause of liver injury are still ongoing, researchers are speculating that an ingredient known as aegeline may be the cause. Aegeline is found in both OxyElite Pro and VERSA-1.
