Chocolate recalled because it contains erectile dysfunction drug

Nalpac is voluntarily recalling DTF Sexual Chocolate it purchased and resold because it has been found to contain sildenafil and tadalafil. 

Sildenafil and tadalafil are the active ingredients in the FDA-approved prescription drugs Viagra and Cialis, respectively, used to treat erectile dysfunction. 

FDA approval of Viagra and Cialis is restricted to use under the supervision of a licensed health care professional. These undeclared ingredients could interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels for those individuals who use prescriptions drugs which contain nitrates. Nalpac has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.

The recalled product is packaged in cases containing 20 retail units. The product can be identified by UPC 757817783069 on the product label. The product was available for purchase in adult retail stores and through shopsexology.com and royalsins.com. 

Consumers and retailers that have the recalled product should stop using or selling products and return to the place of purchase or discard immediately.
