Purity Products Recalls MyBladder Dietary Supplement Over Possible E. Coli Contamination

PLAINVIEW, NY (October 28, 2025) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that Purity Products is recalling one lot of its MyBladder dietary supplement after testing revealed potential contamination with Escherichia coli O7:K1 and 1303. According to the FDA, these bacteria can pose health risks, particularly for infants, young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.

Purity Products recall: quick summary

The recall affects a single lot of MyBladder, a dietary supplement marketed for bladder support. Purity Products’ supplier identified two strains of E. coli during routine testing that federal safety regulations prohibit in nutritional supplements.
The company distributed the product nationwide in the United States through direct online sales and major retailers, including Walmart and Amazon.
Although no illnesses have been reported, the company issued the recall “out of an abundance of caution,” according to the notice. It advises consumers to stop using the affected lot immediately and to return or discard the product.

What happened?

The FDA said Dwater, the manufacturer of Purity Products, initiated the recall after routine testing detected two strains of E. coli in lot number 030425176. The company told regulators that the issue appears to be linked to a temporary supplier change.

The affected MyBladder supplement comes in a white HDPE bottle containing 60 capsules of brown powder. Purity Products sold the product nationwide through Walmart and Amazon, as well as directly through its website.

In its alert, the FDA warned that “people who have a compromised immune system, including neonates and older adults, could experience serious infections if they consume products contaminated with these E. coli strains.”

Behind the brand

Based in Plainview, New York, Purity Products has produced nutritional supplements for more than 30 years. The company’s recall notice states that it has “ceased distribution of the affected product” and is cooperating closely with the FDA to investigate the contamination.

Other relevant recalls

This recall follows other supplement safety alerts this year involving bacterial contamination. Similar recalls have been issued by Peterson Company, Mountain West Food Group, and NPC Processing Inc.

“Produce is a much harder problem. Beef is cooked, while fresh-produce is eaten raw — testing alone cannot catch everything.” — Donald Schaffner, food-science professor, quoted in a report on an E. coli outbreak.

Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86, added that this case underscores a broader industry challenge:

“Food safety isn’t just about compliance; it’s about trust. Every recall reminds us how vital it is to maintain transparency, rigorous checks, and supplier accountability.”

Ensuring safe eats

The Purity Products MyBladder recall highlights how a single supply-chain lapse can have wide safety implications. Preventing contamination requires strict supplier oversight, consistent testing, and full transparency with consumers.
Consumers should double-check supplement lot numbers and discard any affected products.
