Access To Justice

The US Food and Drug Administration has announced a worldwide recall of a list of 65 dietary supplements, sold online through bodybuilding.com, that may contain steroids. Some of the products may include ingredients that the FDA classifies as steroids, such as “Superdrol,” “Madol,” “Tren,” “Androstenedione,” and/or “Turinabol.”

While steroids are available by prescription to treat a variety of problems including delayed puberty and some growth abnormalities, they are also subject to abuse. Some athletes use steroids because they feel it helps them to get stronger and faster.  However, abuse of steroids may have possible harmful side-effects, including acute liver injury, male infertility, and increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and death.

Consumers are being urged to stop using any of the products immediately, and to contact their physician if they have experienced any problems while taking the supplements.
