TWC Global of Mountain View, Calif., is recalling 200 boxes of its supplement products sold under the names Axcil and Desirin because the products contain potentially harmful, undeclared ingredients. No illnesses have been reported, according to the company. The products, manufactured in the U.S. and sold on the Internet nationwide, are sold as a 15-capsule blister-pack, packaged in a box.

The company said in a statement Wednesday that the Food and Drug Administration found samples of the products contained an active ingredient for an FDA-approved drug for erectile dysfunction. The undeclared chemicals pose a threat to consumers because they may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels, the company said.

Customers should stop using the products immediately and contact their doctor if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking this product.

Any reactions should be reported to the FDA's MedWatch adverse event reporting program at www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm. For information, consumers can call the company at (650) 575-0828.

Bravo! LCC is recalling tubes of frozen cat and dog food because of a potential bacterial contamination. The recall includes various-sized tubes of Bravo Original Formula Chicken Blend frozen raw food and 2-pound tubes of Bravo Basic Formula Finely Ground Chicken frozen raw food because they could be contaminated with salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes.

The original formula chicken was manufactured Aug. 24 and the finely ground chicken was manufactured Aug. 14.

The company is also recalling various-sized tubes of Bravo Original Formula Turkey Blend frozen raw food because they could be contaminated with listeria. This product was manufactured on Aug. 24.

Both salmonella and listeria can cause serious infections in cats, dogs and — if there is cross-contamination — in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.

The company has received no reports of illness in people or animals.
