Recall Details

March 31, 2008 -- El Dorado Hills, CA -- KG Enterprises LLC, PO Box 5156, El Dorado Hills, CA 95742, announced today that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of Maxidus, a product manufactured in Malaysia and distributed by KG ENTERPRISES, LLC.

KG Enterprises LLC is conducting this recall after being informed by representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that lab analysis by the FDA of Maxidus pills samples found the product contain sildenafil and tadalafil, potentially harmful, undeclared ingredients. The FDA asserts that its chemical analysis revealed that the Maxidus pills contains sildenafil, the active ingredient of another FDA-approved drug used for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) an analog of sildenafil. These undeclared chemicals pose a threat to consumers because they may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.

Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. ED is a common problem in men with these conditions, and consumers may seek these types of products to enhance sexual performance.

Up until December 2007, Maxidus pills was sold by mail order, and via the internet, nationwide and worldwide. The Maxidus pills product is sold as a 10-capsule blister pack packaged in a gold box.
