Erosyn tablets recalled for unapproved synthetic botanical ingredients

H & L Jerch Sales is recalling Erosyn tablets because they contain synthetic equivalents of botanical constituents that have not been approved for use in dietary supplements.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this as a Class III recall, which indicates the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is regulatory (unapproved ingredient) rather than a direct physical or toxicological threat with reported injuries.

Plain-English summary

H & L Jerch Sales, Inc. is recalling 8,260 bottles of Erosyn, a dietary supplement containing 30 tablets each. The product was distributed nationwide. The recall involves bottles with catalog number #7, UPC 771733109017, and lot numbers 11155, 11190, and 12102.

The FDA issued this recall because the product contains synthetic equivalents of spermine and/or spermidine. These substances are constituents or extracts of an herb or other botanical. Under FDA regulations, a synthetic copy of a constituent or extract of an herb or other botanical is not considered a dietary ingredient. Such ingredients must be approved for use in supplements, and the use of these specific synthetic equivalents has not been approved.

Consumers who have purchased Erosyn with the listed lot numbers should stop using the product and return it to the place of purchase for a refund or contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
