Green Lumber Dietary Supplement recall: Undeclared prescription drug-Tadalafil
Undeclared prescription drug-Tadalafil
The hazard: Undeclared allergen or ingredient
The food itself is fine. What is wrong is the label, and for the households that rely on that label it is a real risk.
What the notice says: Costa Mesa, California — February 13, 2026 — Green Lumber Holding, LLC (“Green Lumber”) is issuing an updated consumer alert regarding counterfeit products falsely marketed as genuine Green Lumber products that may pose potential health risks.
Why it matters: An ingredient that U.S. law requires to be declared is present but missing from the label. People who avoid that ingredient cannot make a safe choice from the packaging.
Symptoms and when to call a doctor
An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

What the company announced
“The press release issued on 08/28/2025 was updated to clarify the recalled product lot number.”
Costa Mesa, California — February 13, 2026 — Green Lumber Holding, LLC (“Green Lumber”) is issuing an updated consumer alert regarding counterfeit products falsely marketed as genuine Green Lumber products that may pose potential health risks.
This update follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) February 9 publication in its Enforcement Report referencing Green Lumber’s original recall, which was initiated on August 28, 2025. The recall was issued in late August 2025 after FDA testing detected tadalafil—an undeclared prescription drug—in products labeled as Green Lumber. Tadalafil is not an ingredient in any authentic Green Lumber product. The February 9 Enforcement Report does not announce a new recall; it reflects publication of the previously announced August 28, 2025, recall.
Following the FDA’s findings, Green Lumber conducted an internal investigation and determined that a company employee had misappropriated legitimate packaging and customer information to distribute counterfeit or adulterated products. That employee has been terminated.
How to Identify the Counterfeit Recalled Product
The counterfeit recalled product bears the Lot Number LOT308EXP03/28 – This is the only lot number being recalled and is not an authentic Green Lumber lot number and was used in connection with counterfeit products. Consumers should not use any product labeled with this lot number, and it should be discarded.
How to Identify Legitimate Green Lumber Products
Authentic Green Lumber products that are presently being distributed bear the following lot numbers and are not the subject of the recall:
LOTGL0130151EXP0926
GL01EXP09/27
LOT GL110725 EXP110727
Packaging differences are illustrated in the image below, which compares genuine and counterfeit blister packs (authentic on left, counterfeit on right) .
Health Risks of Counterfeit Products
The counterfeit versions may contain undeclared tadalafil. Because tadalafil is a prescription-only medication, individuals who take nitrates or certain prescription drugs for heart disease, blood pressure, or other conditions may be at risk of life-threatening side effects such as dangerously low blood pressure or other serious adverse events.
What Consumers Should Do
Check your packaging : Confirm that your blister packs show one of the following Lot Numbers LOTGL0130151EXP0926; GL01EXP09/27; or GL110725 EXP110727
Immediately discontinue use of any product bearing the Lot number LOT308EXP03/28 .
Report suspected counterfeit product directly to Green Lumber at [phone/email] and to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting Program.
Seek medical care promptly if you experience unexpected side effects after using the mislabeled product.
Company Response
“Consumer safety is our number one priority,” said Brett Hales, President. “We acted swiftly after the FDA’s testing identified tadalafil in a product labeled as ours. Our investigation revealed that an employee had been diverting our packaging and customer channels to sell counterfeit goods. That individual has been terminated, and we have strengthened our safeguards to protect customers and ensure this does not happen again.”
Green Lumber has cooperated with the FDA and law enforcement from the beginning to address this matter and protect consumers.

What to do about Allergen
Green Lumber — The food itself is fine. What is wrong is the label, and for the households that rely on that label it is a real risk.
- Read the official notice above for the exact ingredient involved, then check whether anyone in your home avoids it.
- Report any reaction to the FDA so it is recorded against this recall.
- If nobody here avoids it, the product is safe to eat; the refund is still available if you would rather return it.
- If someone does avoid it, stop serving it and check anything already cooked with it.
Getting a refund without the pack
The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.
- A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
- Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
- No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
- For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
