Federal regulators warned consumers on Tuesday not to use bodybuilding products that are sold as nutritional supplements but may contain steroids or steroid-like substances, citing reports of acute liver injury and kidney failure.
The FDA cited eight popular products from American Cellular Labs, including Mass Xtreme and Tren Xtreme, that the agency found to contain hidden and potentially hazardous steroids. The agency sent a letter on Monday warning the company to make the products comply with federal regulations. Last week, federal agents in San Francisco executed search warrants for the company and for a San Francisco outlet of Max Muscle, a chain of sports nutrition stores, some of which sold the products cited by the FDA.
