Starcaps Recall Has Been Expanded

The Balanced Health Products, Inc. recall of Starcaps Dietary Supplement has been expanded following discovery of more “spiked” lots of the product. The good news—if you can call it that—is that the source of the contamination has been found. It originated at Lima Peru, which is the point of production of one of the main ingredients.

The lots now affected are #12/2009-82866 and #12/2010-83801. As before, consumers are advised to immediately stop taking this product, which contains the diuretic Bumetanide, and return all remaining product to the company.

And, again, consumers experiencing an “adverse reaction” are urged to seek immediate medical treatment and report the event to the the FDA’s MedWatch program.
