X-ROCK Recall Lawsuit | Latest Updates

What’s the Problem?

The X-ROCK legal claims involve dietary supplements found to contain undeclared pharmaceutical ingredients that pose serious health risks. The primary allegations against manufacturers include selling products laced with hydroxythiohomosildenafil, an analogue of sildenafil found in FDA-approved erectile dysfunction drugs.

These undeclared ingredients can interact with nitrates and lower blood pressure to dangerous levels, particularly threatening individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease. The FDA has issued recalls for X-ROCK products distributed through wholesalers and retail via Internet orders.

FDA Reports and Statistics

Analytical tests conducted by the FDA concluded that X-ROCK products contain hydroxythiohomosildenafil, an analogue of sildenafil, which is the active ingredient in erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra. The FDA found that these undeclared active ingredients have the potential to interact with nitrates found in certain prescription medications such as nitroglycerin.

To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall, though the potential for serious adverse reactions remains significant for consumers taking nitrate-containing medications.
