Hellolife: Homeopathic OTC Medicines Recalled for Microbial Contamination

Agency Publication Date: September 12, 2018

Summary

Approximately 7,586 bottles of four different HelloLife homeopathic OTC medicines—Compulsin, Neuroveen, Thyroveev, and Respitrol—have been voluntarily recalled due to microbial contamination. The products were found to contain microorganisms including Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Burkholderia cepacia, which can lead to serious infections. These 2 fl oz (59 mL) bottles were distributed nationwide in the USA and to dozens of other countries between March 2017 and August 2018.

Risk

The presence of Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Burkholderia cepacia in these non-sterile liquid products poses a risk of infection, particularly for consumers with weakened immune systems or those with underlying health conditions. Burkholderia cepacia, in particular, is known to cause serious respiratory infections in vulnerable populations.
