Purity Products has issued a recall for one lot of its dietary supplement, MyBladder, due to possible contamination with two strains of Escherichia coli. The company announced that routine testing found E. coli O7:K1 (IAI39/ExPEC) and E. coli 1303 in lot number 03042517. These bacteria are not allowed in dietary supplements according to current regulations.
The recall affects bottles containing 60 capsules of MyBladder, distributed directly to consumers and sold through Walmart and Amazon websites in the United States. The affected product is packaged in a white HDPE bottle with a white cap.
Purity Products stated, "The presence of these E. coli strains may pose a risk for gastrointestinal or other infections, particularly in vulnerable individuals such as neonates, young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to protect all consumers and uphold product safety."
The company traced the issue to a temporary change in suppliers.
Consumers who have purchased MyBladder from lot number 03042517 are advised to stop using it immediately. They should return the product to the place of purchase or dispose of it, and can request a full refund. Anyone experiencing unexpected side effects after using this product should contact their physician or healthcare provider.
