FDA Recalls Unapproved Tiger King Tablets Containing Sildenafil

A&H Focal Inc. is recalling Tiger King tablets because they contain sildenafil, an unapproved drug for erectile dysfunction, and lack FDA approval.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II, which corresponds to a Severe rating under the rubric, particularly given the presence of an unapproved active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for Tiger King tablets manufactured by A&H Focal Inc. The recall is due to the presence of sildenafil, a drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Because these tablets were marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA), they are considered unapproved drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established.

The affected products were distributed in New York and New Jersey through six retail stores identified as "Asian Food Markets." The recall covers all lots of the product. The FDA analysis determined that the inclusion of sildenafil in these tablets makes them subject to recall as unapproved pharmaceuticals.

Consumers who have purchased Tiger King tablets should stop using them immediately. The source text does not provide specific instructions for disposal or return, but consumers should generally follow guidance from the recalling firm or the FDA regarding the safe handling of recalled medications.
