Mainland-made dietary supplements marketed for male sexual enhancement contain undeclared erectile dysfunction drugs, putting users at risk, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
The agency advised consumers to stay away from Shangai Chaojimengnan supplements sold under the names Super Shangai, Strong Testis, Shangai Ultra, Shangai Ultra X, Lady Shangai and Shangai Regular.
The mainland-made supplements are packaged and distributed by Shangai Distributor of Puerto Rico.
Tests have indicated some of the so-called supplements contain Viagra's active ingredient, sildenafil, or a compound with a chemical structure that mimics sildenafil.
