Drug recall
Drug recall: In Brooklyn, New York, WEFUN Inc. is voluntarily recalling 300 Boxes of WEFUN Capsules to the consumer level.
USFDA analysis has found the product to be tainted with sildenafil. Sildenafil is an ingredient known as a Phosphodiesterase Inhibitor (PDE-5) inhibitor found in USFDA-approved products for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction.
The presence of sildenafil in this product renders it an unapproved drug for which the safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall.
Risk Statement:
Consumption of products with undeclared sildenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and cause a significant drop in blood pressure that may be life threatening.
People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.
Among the adult male population, which is most likely to use this product, adult males who use nitrates for cardiac conditions are most at risk.
WEFUN Inc. has not received any reports of adverse events related to this drug recall.
The tainted WEFUN Capsules are marketed as a dietary supplement and are packaged in a blue cardboard box (10 capsules).
The affected WEFUN Capsule lot includes the following: #18520168 and 09/30/2026.
The WEFUN Capsules were distributed Nationwide in the USA via internet sales via amazon.com and eshoponlineusa.com.
WEFUN Inc. is notifying its distributors and customers by email and is arranging for the return of all recalled WEFUN capsules.
Consumers/distributors/retailers that have WEFUN capsules that are being recalled should stop using them and return them to their place of purchase.
