Liquid Blenz Corp announced on Apr. 14 the recall of all codes of its Good Brain Tonic product due to a potential risk of botulism, a serious form of food poisoning. The company said the recall affects both 16-ounce and 32-ounce bottles distributed nationwide in retail stores and through internet sales.
The recall is important because botulism can be fatal if not treated quickly. Symptoms may include general weakness, dizziness, double vision, difficulty speaking or swallowing, trouble breathing, muscle weakness, abdominal distension, and constipation. The company advised that anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.
According to Liquid Blenz Corp, the affected products are packaged in amber bottles with plastic caps. The UPC code for the 16-ounce size is 860010984468 and for the 32-ounce size is 860010984475.
No illnesses have been reported so far. The possible contamination was identified through analysis by the Cornell Food Venture Center as well as field testing by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors.
Consumers who purchased Good Brain Tonic are urged to return it to their place of purchase for a full refund. Those with questions can contact Liquid Blenz Corp at 1-516-608-8826.
