Health Canada Issues massive warning

I received five (yes, five) warning e-mails from Health Canada warning Canadians about a variety of products to be wary of consuming. I've condensed the list here. If you have any of these products, you should follow the link for more information. The five products are 2H & 2D, STRO Emperor Capsules, Tian Yang Xu Huo Oral Ulcer Capsule, sexual
enhancement dietary supplements sold by Atlas Operations Inc. and 65 bodybuilding products
sold through Bodybuilding.com.

Product #1
"Health Canada is advising consumers not to use the unauthorized health
product 2H & 2D because it contains undeclared tadalafil. Tadalafil is a
prescription drug and should only be used under the supervision of a health
care practitioner."


Product #2
"Health Canada is advising consumers not to use the unauthorized health
product STRO Emperor Capsules because it contains undeclared tadalafil.
