CBSN
Neptune's Fix products sold nationwide are being recalled because they contain tianeptine — also known as "gas station heroin" — a substance linked to addiction and deadly overdoses.
All of the supplement brand's products including Neptune's Fix Elixir, Neptune's Fix Extra Strength Elixir and Neptune's Fix Tables are being recalled because they have the ingredient that is not FDA-approved for any medical use, Neptune Resources stated Sunday in its announcement posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA advises a "reasonable probability of life-threatening events including suicidal ideation or behavior for children, adolescents and young adults 25 and younger," with further risks including unintentional overdoses, Neptune said.
