Recall Insight
This FDA Drug action (record #D-374-2014) was formally reported on December 25, 2013, with the manufacturer initiating the action on July 31, 2013. It is classified under Critical severity (Class I), with a current status of Terminated. Healthy Life Chemistry Inc dba Purity First is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Deer Park, NY. Federal records indicate unknown units are affected.
The documented reason for this recall is: Marketed Without An Approved NDA/ANDA: New York State Department of Health analysis of this product found it to contain undeclared steroid-like substances making it an unapproved new drug. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Approximately 30% of all finished products were sold to customers in interstate to include but may not be limited to NY, NJ & CT via UPS. Products are promoted and sold directly to customers at Healthy Life Chemistry's…. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.
To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 5 were also issued by FDA Drug. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 13 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
