WASHINGTON, June 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the voluntary recall of a dietary supplement sold under the name Long Weekend.
Confidence Inc. of Port Washington, N.Y., initiated the recall after the FDA determined the product contains undeclared tadalafil, a drug used as treatment for male erectile dysfunction.
Since Long Weekend has not been approved as a drug, the FDA said its safety and effectiveness has not been determined. Furthermore, the FDA said Long Weekend poses a threat to consumers because tadalafil can interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs and might lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.
The recalled product was sold through by mail order and retailers nationwide, and in Puerto Rico, Canada, Britain, Russia and China.
Long Weekend is sold in three-capsule boxes. The capsules are sealed in a foil blister-pack, with UPC 809515-0542.
The company said consumers with questions can contact Jim Chao at 516-767-1870 or e-mail jim@confidenceusa.com.
