Healthmaxx Global Recalls Max Blood Sugar Defense Due to Mislabeling

Healthmaxx Global Inc. is voluntarily recalling Max Blood Sugar Defense dietary supplements because the product and ingredient labels do not match the actual contents.

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 recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote probability of adverse health consequences. The hazard is limited to mislabeling without reported illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

Healthmaxx Global Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall of Max Blood Sugar Defense, a 150-tablet dietary supplement. The recall was initiated in response to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection that identified mislabeling issues.

The FDA determined that the product named on the label is not the actual product contained in the packaging, and the ingredients listed on the label are not the actual ingredients contained in the product. This discrepancy means consumers may be ingesting substances different from those disclosed on the label.

The affected product is identified by Lot # D0915 and UPC 6 65176 52047 1. The product was distributed in California, Maryland, and New York. Consumers who have this product should stop using it and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
