The following recalls have been announced:

RockHard Laboratories is recalling select lot numbers of RockHard Weekend dietary supplements, because they contain sulfoaildenfil, a chemical that mimics the active ingredient in Viagra, even though the supplements are not approved to contain active drugs.

This compound could interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease. If the active drug ingredients interact with nitrates, it could cause blood pressure to drop to dangerous levels.

The recalled supplements were sold nationwide in single blister packs, as well as bottles of three and eight supplements. Details: by phone at 800-562-0543.
