Botanical-Be issues recall for supplements due to diclofenac presence

Botanical-Be recall overview: 

• Who: Botanical-Be recalled its Kuka Flex Forte, Artri King and Reumo Flex capsules. 
• Why: The capsules all included diclofenac, an unapproved and unlisted Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drug (NSAID).
• Where: The Botanical-Be recall applies across the United States.

Botanical-Be announced a recall of its Kuka Flex Forte, Artri King and Reumo Flex capsules because the products contain diclofenac, a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drug (NSAID), making the capsules unapproved drugs.

An analysis from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the presence of diclofenac, which is unapproved because the FDA has not established its safety and efficacy.

The recall applies to Artri King in 100-capsule bottles, Kuka Flex in 30-capsule bottles and Reumo flex in 30-capsule bottles. The products are dietary supplements for relief of pain and inflammation, according to the recall notice.

The lot numbers and expirations are 

• Artri King: lot 35421 with an expiration date of Dec. 19, 2025
• Kuka Flex Forte: all lots with an expiration date of Dec. 12, 2024, and UPC code 0736640810265
• Reumo Flex: all lots with an expiration date of Oct. 20, 2024

Consuming diclofenac can lead to serious health risks, supplement recall states

Botanical-Be says it has not received any reports of illness related to the recall. The company is not facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

Consuming diclofenac without knowledge could lead to serious health risks, including cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and renal problems and anaphylaxis, according to the supplements recall notice.

Consumers can contact Botanical-Be at (915) 412-6237‬ or by email at botanical.be@gmail.com from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT.

In other supplement recalls, the FDA announced an urgent recall in March of Dr. Rima Recommends Nano Silver 10 ppm dietary supplement as the product makes “unsubstantiated health claims that the product will prevent, treat or cure COVID-19.”
