Total Body Nutrition, TBN Labs, and Loud Muscle Science Agree to Stop Selling Adulterated and Misbranded Dietary Supplements
According to a complaint filed by the U.S. government, Islam and the companies violated the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) by manufacturing and distributing dietary supplements without establishing product specifications for finished batches, without testing the finished batches to verify that they met product specifications, and without testing dietary ingredients used in supplements to verify their identity. The companies were warned by the FDA for manufacturing violations found during a facility inspection in 2017, and in 2016 and 2019, they FDA warned that some of its products contained stimulant drugs not permitted in dietary supplements. In 2022, Loud Muscle issued a recall of its sexual enhancement products, which were found to contain undeclared tadalafil, a prescription drug for erectile dysfunction.
"Dietary supplement manufacturers and distributors have an important responsibility to ensure product quality and safety," Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton stated in a news release issued by the U.S. Department of Justice about the settlement. "The Justice Department will continue to work closely with the FDA and take action against manufacturers and distributors who fail to abide by laws designed to protect public health."
