Why it happened, in plain English
The filed reason is four words: “Product contains yellow oleander.” Yellow oleander is a poisonous plant. The record does not say how it got into a product labeled as tejocote root, whether the root pieces were misidentified, substituted or mixed at the source. One lot is named, US1220, with a June 2027 expiration.
The product is a dietary supplement sold as 7 g of dried root pieces, 40 bottles in all, direct to consumers online in AZ, CA, NM, NY, TX and UT. In general terms, a botanical sold as whole plant pieces has one identity control: someone confirming that the plant in the bottle is the plant on the label, by a test the seller can stand behind. A distributor that resells imported root pieces without identity testing has no way to know. The recall was initiated in October 2025 and appeared in FDA’s report the following April, and the record lists it as ongoing.
Who else should care
Small supplement sellers importing botanical weight-loss products from Mexico or elsewhere and selling them online. Tejocote root is a category to look at specifically. The quantity here is tiny, 40 units, but the classification is Class I, because the hazard is a plant toxin and not a labeling issue.
Check: whether you have an identity test result, from a lab you chose, for every botanical lot you sell as a raw plant part.
