Jack Distribution, LLC. Issues Nationwide Recall of Select Lots of Rize 2 The Occasion Capsules and Rose 4 Her Capsules, Products Marketed as Dietary Supplements, Containing an Undeclared Ingredient

Jack Distribution, LLC, 1501 Green Road Unit C Pompano Beach, Florida 33064 and its wholesale distributors G & N works, Inc., and Devine Distribution, Inc., is recalling the following lot numbers of the company's supplement products sold under the brand names Rize 2 The Occasion and Rose 4 Her.  (Rize 2 lot numbers CG-84 expires 11/10, GD-98 expires 08/10, CC-06 expires 06/10, 709 expires 09/10, CG-79 expires 11/10) (Rose 4 Her lot number CG-78 expires 11/10).

Jack Distribution, LLC, is conducting this recall after being informed by representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that lab analysis by FDA of Rize 2 and Rose 4 Her samples from lots manufactured and packaged in 2007 found the product contains potentially harmful, undeclared ingredients. FDA asserts that its chemical analysis revealed that these lots of Rize 2 The Occasion and Rose 4 Her contain thiomethisosildenafil, an analog of sildenafil, the active ingredient of a FDA-approved drug used for Erectile Dysfunction (ED). FDA maintains that this ingredient is close in structure to sildenafil and is expected to possess a similar pharmacological and adverse event profile. This undeclared chemical poses a potential threat to consumers because it 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.

Customers who have this product in their possession should stop using it immediately and contact their physician if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking this product.

The company advises that any unused portions from these lot numbers be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund of purchase price. G & N Works and Devine Distribution are not shipping any Rize 2 or Rose 4 Her that is in stock while additional samples are being tested, they expect to begin shipping again in 2-4 weeks.

Rize 2 and Rose 4 Her are sold in adult stores, vitamin & nutrition shops, convenience stores, and via the internet nationwide. The Rize 2 product is sold as a (single blister pack, three count bottles, twelve count bottles, and thirty count bottles. Rose 4 Her is only available in single blister packs and three count bottles.
