Iowa Select Herbs Recalls Nettle Leaf Supplements Due to Misbranding

Iowa Select Herbs LLC is recalling Nettle Leaf dietary supplements because they are misbranded, unapproved new drugs, and adulterated.

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 agency classification is FDA Class III, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The recall is driven by regulatory violations (misbranding/adulteration) rather than reported acute physical harm.
