Adam’s Secret Lawsuit Overview
The Adam’s Secret lawsuits involve dietary supplements marketed for male sexual enhancement that contained undeclared prescription drugs.
The primary allegations center on the manufacturer’s failure to disclose sildenafil and tadalafil, putting consumers at serious risk.

- February 16, 2021 – Adam’s Secret initiated a nationwide recall of all lots within expiry of Adam’s Secret Extra Strength 1500 and Adam’s Secret Extra Strength 3000 capsules after the FDA discovered they contained undeclared sildenafil and tadalafil [1].
