Chaotic Labz, Atkins, Arkansas, is voluntarily conducting a
nationwide recall of Mayhem dietary supplement capsules, Lot #CLM061114
with an expiration date of 06/2016, to the user/consumer level.
Mayhem’s intended use is as a bodybuilding supplement. FDA laboratory
analysis found that Mayhem Dietary Supplement contains undeclared
dexamethasone, a prescription corticosteroid commonly used to treat
inflammatory conditions, and cyproheptadine, a prescription
antihistamine used for seasonal allergy treatment, making this an
unapproved drug.
Consumers are advised that corticosteroid use
can impair a person’s ability to fight infections, cause high blood
sugar levels, muscle injuries and psychiatric problems. When
corticosteroids are taken for a prolonged period, or at high doses, they
can suppress the adrenal gland and cause withdrawal symptoms with
abrupt discontinuation. Antihistamines may cause drowsiness and affect
mental alertness. In addition, these undeclared drug ingredients in
Mayhem may cause serious side effects when combined with other
medications. To date, Chaotic Labz has not received reports of these
adverse effects related to this recall.
Mayhem is packaged in a
clear bottle with yellow capsules associated with Lot #CLM061114 with an
expiration date of 06/2016. The product can be identified by the brand
known as Chaotic Labz and product name Mayhem, Appetite for
Construction. This product was distributed nationwide to various
Nutritional Supplement Retail Outlets and via the internet.
Chaotic
Labz is notifying its distributors and customers by a formal recall
notification and arranging for a return of all recalled products.
Distribution of Mayhem will also be halted. Consumers, Distributors,
and Retailers that have any of the recalled product should STOP USING
and return immediately to the place of purchase. Contact your health
care professional if you have experienced any adverse effects.
