When a company announces a recall, market withdrawal, or safety alert, the FDA posts the company's announcement as a public service. FDA does not endorse either the product or the company. More Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts Recall Resources Enforcement Reports Industry Guidance For Recalls Major Product Recalls FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – December 16, 2024 – Los Angeles, California - Shoppers-Plaza is voluntarily recalling all lots of Fouzee Sugarlin Herbal Formula capsules to the consumer level . See Attachment 1 for photo of product labeling. Fouzee Sugarlin Herbal Formula capsules is an unapproved new drug for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall. Metformin is the active ingredient in several FDA-approved prescription drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes and is only available with a prescription. Metformin may pose a serious risk to consumers because this ingredient can cause a rare but serious side effect called lactic acidosis (a build-up of lactic acid in the blood) that can cause death if untreated. Symptoms of lactic acidosis include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, body aches, respiratory distress, abdominal pain and fast, deep breathing. Metformin may also cause hypoglycemia when taken together with other medications to lower blood sugar. Glyburide is the active ingredient in some FDA-approved prescription drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes and is only available with a prescription. Glyburide may pose serious and potentially life-threatening risks to consumers because this ingredient may result in unsafe drops in blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Common symptoms of hypoglycemia include fast heartbeat, shaking, sweating, nervousness or anxiety, irritability or confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, headache and hunger. Hypoglycemia may quickly become severe, resulting in seizures, coma or death.
