http://www.naturalproductsinsider.com/n ... r-sei.aspxThis isn't the first brush with FDA or adulteration accusations for SEI. Following an April inspection of the company's facility, FDA asked the company in May 2008 to recall all of its Xiadafil VIP Tabs because the product, which was marketed as a sex supplement, actually contained undeclared hydroxyhomosildenafil, an analog of sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. The agency warned the undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and lower blood pressure to life-threatening levels. Florida state officials had already issued a "stop sale" action at SEI's distribution facility in Miami weeks earlier, requiring the firm to stop shipping he product and keep all remaining lots at the company's facility. However, the company rejected the request to recall the product, and FDA sent U.S. Marshalls to the facility to seize the product. Officials seized $74,000 worth of product in that raid.
That reminds me of what Michael Moorcock wrote in the 1970s: "You know times are getting tough when there's more speed in the coke than there is in the speed."
