“Company name: Pfizer
Brand name: CHANTIX
Product recalled: Smoking cessation treatment
Reason of the recall: N-Nitroso Varenicline content above ADI level
FDA Recall date: July 19, 2021
Recall details: Pfizer is voluntarily recalling two lots of Chantix 0.5mg Tablets, two lots of Chantix 1 mg Tablets, and... See More eight lots of a Chantix kit of 0.5mg/1 mg Tablets to the patient (consumer/user) level due to the presence of a nitrosamine, N-nitroso-varenicline, above the Pfizer established Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) level.
Long-term ingestion of N-nitroso-varenicline may be associated with a theoretical potential increased cancer risk in humans, but there is no immediate risk to patients taking this medication. The health benefits of stopping smoking outweigh the theoretical potential cancer risk from the nitrosamine impurity in varenicline. Nitrosamines are common in water and foods, including cured and grilled meats, dairy products and vegetables. Everyone is exposed to some level of nitrosamines. These impurities may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels over long periods of time.
Chantix is a treatment to help patients quit smoking and is intended for short term use. People who smoke cigarettes are 15 to 30 times more likely to get lung cancer than people who do not smoke. Smoking is also associated with many other cancers. CHANTIX has a safety profile that has been established over 15 years of marketing authorization and through a robust clinical program. Pfizer believes the benefit/risk profile of CHANTIX remains positive. Patients currently taking Chantix should consult with their doctor to confirm if they received an affected lot, and if appropriate, about alternative treatment options.
To date, Pfizer has not received any reports of adverse events that have been related to this recall.
The product lots were distributed nationwide to wholesalers and Distributors in the United States and Puerto Rico from June 2019 to June 2021.

“Company name: Alpha Male Plus
Brand name: Alpha Male Plus
Product recalled: Alpha Male Plus Male Enhancer fruit chew
Reason of the recall: Undeclared Tadalafil
FDA Recall date: July 19, 2021
Recall details: Tucson, AZ, Alpha Male Plus is voluntarily recalling all lots within expiry of Alpha... See More Male Plus Male Enhancer fruit chews to the consumer level. FDA analysis has found the product to be tainted with tadalafil, an ingredient known as a phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitor found in a FDA approved product for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The presence of tadalafil in Alpha Male Plus Male Enhancer renders the product an unapproved drug for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall.
Risk Statement: Consumers with underlying medical conditions who take Alpha Male Plus Male Enhancer with undeclared tadalafil may experience serious health risks. For example, PDE-5 inhibitors may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) lowering blood pressure to dangerous levels that may be life-threatening. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease often take nitrates. To date, Alpha Male Plus has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
The tainted Alpha Male Plus Male Enhancer product was manufactured by Dr Manuel Mascarenas M.D. in Tucson, Arizona located at 5190 E Farness Dr Ste 104, 85712. Dr Mascarenas is the originator and manufacturer of these products for the global market. Alpha Male Plus was selected to act as the US distributor and distribute these products for the US market.
The tadalafil ingredient was never disclosed or made known to its US distributor and was only discovered through FDA laboratory analysis. Dr Manuel Mascarenas is solely responsible for the creation, formulation and proliferation of this product. Through the use of concealment, dishonest means and an unknowing 3rd party Dr Mascarenas was able to begin distributing this mislabeled and potentially harmful product to the US market.
Alpha Male Plus was marketed as a dietary supplement for male sexual enhancement and is packaged in 1strip per foil pouch within a cardboard box, UPC [8 60003 03770 6] [8 60003 74512 0].
The affected Alpha Male Plus Male Enhancer includes all lots. The product was distributed nationwide in the USA via internet directly to consumers via their website.
Company is notifying its distributors and customers by e-mail and is arranging for return of all recalled products. Consumers/distributors/retailers that have product which is being recalled should stop using or return to place of purchase/discard/contact their doctor, etc.

Dreambone twist dog treats Dog very sick after giving him two if these yesterday, Springdale, AR, USA

July 7, 2021 11:46 AM
“Yesterday I bought and gave my dog two dream one twist dog treats. A couple hours later he was acting sick. Head down, not himself. He's a very energetic blue Lacy so this is unlike him. Yesterday evening I noticed he was trying to poo but couldn't.... See More He refused his normal treats (not the dream bone but he gets blue buffalo bits after potty breaks) this was another red flag . My boy never turns down a treat.
All last night he was restless. It's now 10 am on the day after giving him the dream bone twists. He's still restless, can't get comfy, lays down then stands up then sits down with his head down. Won't eat, even things he normally loves. I've rubbed his belly and tried to comfort him. I let him out and walked him around a bit to try and help his bowels move along. Still nothing. He ate a bit of grass which is normal when dogs don't feel good. A bit later he started puking a massive amount and I could see alot of undigested dream bone in it. Those dream bones are the only new thing hes had and now he's really sick. I'm scared after reading about other law suites and issues regarding this product that my dog might have obstructed bowels from eating eat. I'm watching him closely and ready to take him to the vet as soon as I see if he's going to improve after puking or not. Vet visits are really expensive and if he needs surgery or declines further I'm going to raise hell. It's not okay for money hungry corporates to line their pockets while falsely advertising its products as safe knowing dam well it's killing beloved animals. My dog deserved a treat not a fight for his life. See Less”

Six Flags Darien Lake Failed to Report Coaster Incident to State, Six Flags Darien Lake, Alleghany Road, Corfu, NY, USA
Six Flags Darien Lake, Alleghany Road, Corfu, NY, USA
July 1, 2021 9:13 PM
“July 12, 2019 around 7:30pm, Tantrum, a Gerstlauer EuroFighter Roller Coaster, experienced a malfunction as a car embarked on the 90 degree vertical lift hill. The train came to a halt and despite multiple attempts by park personnel to clear faults and override system warnings from the... See More control system (each attempt advancing the car by one rollback click up the hill) riders had to be evacuated. Riders remained tightly restrained in the ride vehicles upwards of one hour and forty five minutes to two hours. In order to evacuate guests, a vertical lift attached to the ride base was brought up to the edge of the car.
A rear metal mesh panel was swung out from the lift across the back of the car to assist riders in the rear in the event of a mishap on exiting. From there, workers manually released rider restraints one at a time. Each rider then had to roll and/or climb over the individual bucket seats at a 90+ degree angle and maneuver around the lap bar and seat belt restraints while in a single gait belt style harness which was secured to the edge of the ride lift by a sturdy harness brace.
Rescue workers assisted the riders off the Rollercoaster one by one starting with the rear row of 4 going left to right across the cars, and ending with the front row of 4 in a left to right fashion. Once the first four riders were rescued the lift was lowered to let them disembark from the roller coaster before ascending to the top to retrieve the following four in the front car. At the exit of the ride, a worker took the names and numbers of involved guests and guests were given a water bottle and pass to skip the line of one ride of their choice.
The riders were stuck in a 90+ degree position (while the ride itself has a 90 degree lift hill in this section, the seats of the ride vehicles have additional pitching to increase the feeling of being upside down and suspended, resulting in further heightened pressure against the extremities and other section of the body by restraints in this position) for close to 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours, with the last rider having exited the ride close to 9pm.
According to multiple guests, the first riders were not informed that medical attention was available if needed and may not have been seen by the guests as they exited the ride. One to two guests requested medical attention at the park's front guest services department. The riders were subjected to undue attitude and questioning, in addition to being verbally ridiculed by the guest services agents before the service agents offered to call for medical attention.
One guest was sent home from the park in a wheelchair due to blood flow issues in their legs from the restraints on the roller coaster pressing against them for an extended period while at a 90+ degree angle, resulting in cold extremity on one side of the body, pain, and decreased sensation in the extremities also documented and recognized by the attending medical aids.
According to multiple other riders, at least one guest requiring a cane with various disabilities was denied assistance by a loved one from the exit of the ride, as security had emptied the section of the park and refused to allow the loved one or to bring the assistive device from the rider's loved one to the ride exit to assist them. This resulted in additional emotional and physical suffering of the rider as they were then required to walk a fair distance without any aid until they reached the security guard who refused to offer assistance.
In addition, the checks completed by ride operators include ensuring restraints are as tight fitting as possible by pressing down firmly and forcefully on the restraints often advancing the position of the restraint further. Restraints of course, do not loosen unless released by operators at the completion of the ride. However, because the ride was not able to complete its circuit, this resulted in further adverse events and possibility of unknown future adverse events due to hidden damage below the skin surface following the incident.
It was noted by multiple guests that the park seemed to be "concerned more about their status as a six flags park again and preventing recording or viewing by guests to avoid potential bad publicity than it did for the guests on and exiting the ride once rescued and removed." According to multiple guests this was not the first time this ride had stopped unexpectedly within the last 24 to 48 hours and has been a consistent problem with the ride since opening.
It should further be considered extremely important, dangerous, negligent, and reckless of maintenance workers to continue to advance the train despite ride safety system faults preventing the ride from advancing further. These attempts to further advance the coaster are in direct conflict to the manufacturer safety mechanisms put in place following incidents at a fellow Gerstlauer roller coaster, The Smiler at Alton Towers, England.
These systems were put into place following catastrophic occurrences in which limbs were lost and human life was endangered when maintenance operators overrode the ride's block system sending a car of guests careening into a stalled car further down the line. These overrides were specifically addressed by subsequent maintenance work and system upgrades by Gerstlauer, not just on The Smiler, but for all of their roller coaster models. Attempts to override this system are unconscionable.
Update as of July 1, 2021:
Following FOIA requests that were backed up due to COVID-19, I have been informed by the Attorney General's office that the park failed to report this incident to the inspecting body of NYS. There are no records when there certainly should be.
This is highly important as the very system that was attempted to be overridden was put into place to prevent catastrophic accidents from ocurring for a multitude of reasons. At The Smiler before this system had a safe guard added, mechanics were able to override the fault which lead to a major accident that resulted in the physical crushing, and resulting need of removal of limbs from guests See Less”
