Green Lumber Recalls Dietary Supplement Over Undeclared Prescription Drug Tadalafil

Costa Mesa, CA (February 13, 2026) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that Green Lumber Holding, LLC is recalling a counterfeit version of its dietary supplement after testing detected the presence of undeclared tadalafil, a prescription-only drug not listed on the label.

The FDA said the affected products were falsely marketed as genuine Green Lumber supplements and pose serious health risks, especially for consumers taking heart or blood pressure medications. Regulators said the updated notice clarifies the specific lot number associated with the counterfeit product and reiterates consumer safety guidance.

Green Lumber recall: quick summary

The recall covers counterfeit dietary supplements labeled as Green Lumber products that contain tadalafil, an undeclared prescription drug. The FDA confirmed the issue through testing and published the enforcement action on February 13, 2026, referencing a recall that began in August 2025. Only one lot number is affected, and the recall does not include legitimate Green Lumber products with other lot codes. Regulators urge consumers to stop using the recalled product immediately and report any adverse events.

What happened?

The FDA said Green Lumber initiated the recall after agency testing detected tadalafil in products labeled as Green Lumber supplements. The company told regulators it became aware of the issue during an internal investigation following the FDA’s Enforcement Report published on February 9, 2026.

In its recall alert, the FDA warned that “tadalafil is a prescription-only medication and is not an ingredient in any authentic Green Lumber product.” The agency said consumers who take nitrates or certain heart medications face a heightened risk of dangerously low blood pressure and serious adverse events.

The company announced the recall in coordination with the FDA after it discovered that a former employee misappropriated legitimate packaging and customer information to distribute counterfeit or adulterated products. The company has terminated that employee.

“Food safety isn’t just about compliance; it’s about trust. Every recall reminds us how vital transparency and supplier accountability really are.”
