Lipodrene With 25mg Ephedra Extract recalled for unapproved food additive

Hi Tech Pharmaceuticals is recalling Lipodrene With 25mg Ephedra Extract because the product contains 1,4-dimethylamylamine (DMAA), an unapproved food additive.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalization cases associated with the unapproved additive, making this a precautionary recall based on a regulatory violation rather than confirmed harm.
