Why it was recalled

The distribution firms Leader Brand, Major Pharmaceuticals, and The Harvard Drug Group dba Rugby Laboratories are jointly initiating a voluntary recall of multiple supplements due to possible product contamination with B. cepacia, which may result in serious infections that could be life-threatening in patients with compromised immune systems and in patients with chronic lung conditions such as cystic fibrosis.
