Complete 7-Day Cleanse Recalled By Health Canada
Ottawa, Canada: Health Canada is advising consumers that the unauthorized product "Complete 7-Day Cleanse" is being recalled because it contains a number of active ingredients with a combined effect that may pose serious health risks. "Complete 7-Day Cleanse" is a multi-ingredient natural health product promoted for "cleansing" or removing toxins from the body.
According to package labelling, the product contains over 30 active ingredients, some having a diuretic (water pill) or laxative (stimulant, and bulk-forming) effect. This combination of ingredients may increase the laxative or diuretic impact of the product and pose a risk of dehydration and/or electrolyte imbalance.
Symptoms of severe dehydration may involve an altered mental state and dizziness. Symptoms of moderate to severe electrolyte imbalance (which is an imbalance of salts in the body, such as potassium or sodium) may include muscle weakness or cramping, abnormal heartbeat, and difficulties breathing.
The product is available at retail outlets across Canada and over the Internet. The Canadian importer, Iovate Health Sciences International Inc., of Oakville, Ontario, has initiated a nationwide recall at the request of Health Canada.
