"The FDA announced that the products contained undeclared prescription drug ingredients used to treat erectile dysfunction, specifically sildenafil and tadalafil, which could cause a 'life-threatening' drop in blood pressure when mixed with nitrates."
"The two recalled products are Gold Lion Aphrodisiac Chocolate Male Enhancement Sachet and ilum Sex Chocolate Male Sexual Enhancement Booster, with the latter having been previously warned against by the FDA."
"Men using nitrates for cardiac conditions are at the highest risk when consuming these products, prompting the FDA to urge immediate cessation of use."
"Gear Isle specializes in 'adult novelties' and does not manufacture the products it sells, according to its website."
Gear Isle, a Californian company, recalled chocolate products after they were found to contain sildenafil and tadalafil, ingredients used in Viagra and Cialis. The FDA warned that these substances could cause severe drops in blood pressure when combined with nitrates. The recalled products include Gold Lion Aphrodisiac Chocolate and ilum Sex Chocolate. The FDA had previously issued a warning about ilum. Gear Isle has not reported any adverse reactions and is coordinating returns and refunds for customers.
