Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 42,564 units of various over-the-counter topical products—including Pain Wizard and Golden Tiger pain creams, Bull Frog sunscreen, and Aloe Gator protective gels—are being recalled by ARG Laboratories, Inc. The recall was initiated because active ingredients were found to be outside of required specifications and an improper, non-pharmaceutical grade of propylene glycol was used during the manufacturing process. These products were distributed nationwide in the USA in several sizes and packaging types, such as bottles with pumps, tubes, roll-ons, and gallon jugs. If you have purchased these products, you are advised to stop using them and seek a refund or properly dispose of them.

Risk

The use of improper ingredient grades or incorrect concentrations of active ingredients may lead to skin irritation, allergic reactions, or the product failing to provide the intended relief or sun protection. No specific injuries have been reported, but the manufacturing defect compromises the safety and efficacy of the medications.

What You Should Do

  1. This recall affects multiple brands of topical relief and skin protection products, including Pain Wizard (Camphor/Menthol), Golden Tiger (Camphor/Menthol), Bull Frog SPF 50 Lotion, and Aloe Gator SPF 40+ Gel.

  3. If you have health concerns, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact ARG Laboratories, Inc. for further instructions.
