Company Announcement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – November 7, 2023 – In El Paso, TX, Botanical-Be has voluntarily initiated a recall of all batches of Kuka Flex Forte caplets, Reumo Flex caplets, and Artri King tablets. This recall is directed at the consumer level. The FDA’s analysis revealed that the Kuka Flex Forte caplets, Artri King tablets, and Reumo Flex caplets have been contaminated with Diclofenac. Diclofenac is an approved non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), the presence of Diclofenac in Kuka Flex Forte, Artri King, and Reumo Flex renders them unapproved drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall.

Risk Statement: Consumption of undeclared diclofenac could result in serious adverse events that include cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, and anaphylaxis in patients taking concomitant NSAIDs and/or anticoagulants, such as Warfarin, in those who have allergies to diclofenac, or those with underlying cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, and hepatic illnesses. To date, Botanical-Be has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.

These tainted products are marketed as a dietary supplement for relief of pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and are packaged as followed:

• Artri king distribute in the bottles with 100 tablets.
• Kuka Flex distribute in the bottles with 30 caplets.
• Reumo flex distribute in the boxes with 30 caplets.
