Beta Labs Recalls Oxyphen XR Fat Burner Due to Illegal DMAA Content
Beta Labs is recalling Oxyphen XR fat burner capsules because they contain DMAA, a substance not permitted in dietary supplements.
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 II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is the presence of an illegal substance (DMAA) in a dietary supplement, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving regulatory non-compliance without reported harm.
