The names of the products in question and that have drawn these FDA warnings include Super Shangai, Strong Testis, Shangai Ultra, Shangai Ultra X, Lady Shangai, and Shangai Regular, also marketed as Shangai Chaojimengnan. Generally, these products are being marketed as sexual enhancement aids and labeled as dietary aids, which is one of the reasons that the FDA has scrutinized these products so closely.
The basic problem with these products lies within their ingredients. Specifically, these products contain 'undeclared active ingredients' which require FDA approval before they can be released onto the marketplace. Another problem that exists is that while these products are usually marketed as sexual enhancement aids, they are labeled as dietary supplements, which gives rise to the need for FDA approval given that the 'undeclared active ingredients' are actually those that are generally used for erectile dysfunction.
If this seems somewhat confusing to you, you're far from alone. Not to mention, basic logic should tell you that putting something in your body that may or may not actually be formulated for the purpose you intend is ill-advised. Pills that come from a country that's been under fire for its dangerous products that contain ingredients that are a mystery at best can only lead to serious problems down the road, which is why the FDA is warning people to stop using them.
If you have suffered as a result of using any of these products, you need medical and legal help. Contact your doctor today to obtain a full medical evaluation and then contact a defective products attorney to schedule an initial consultation.
If you are one of the millions of people in the United States who is fighting to control your weight or fighting the ongoing problem of erectile dysfunction, chances are that you have looked for help before working closely with a doctor or a dietician in order to get these issues under control. Many people follow this progression, and as a result more and more products are hitting the market that claim to deal with one or both of these issues from which people are suffering on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, many of these products are potentially problematic in nature, and the FDA has recently come out and warned the public to stop using any of several products with the name 'Shangai' on the label. Examples of these specific products include Super Shangai, Strong Testis, Shangai Ultra, Shangai Ultra X, Lady Shangai, and Shangai Regular, also marketed as Shangai Chaojimengnan. Below is a brief outline of how you should proceed if you've used these products and suffered as a result.
The inherent problem with these Shangai products is that while they are marketed for the aid of erectile dysfunction even though they are labeled as dietary aids. While this at best is confusing, at worst it's dangerous, because these products contain 'undeclared active ingredients' that are similar to those used by FDA-approved dietary aids. However, these products have not been approved by the FDA, which by logical result makes their sale potentially illegal.
Taking dietary aids without knowledge can cause several problems, including high blood pressure, increased heart rates for prolonged periods of time and potentially heart failure if these conditions persist, especially without the patient's knowledge. This is why you need to seek medical attention, as conditions such as high blood pressure are known as silent killers, which means that you may not notice physical manifestations of these problems until it's too late.
If you discover that you have suffered injuries as a result of using these products, you owe it to yourself and those you love to contact a defective products attorney to schedule an initial consultation. During this consultation, you and your attorney will be able to discuss the particulars of your situation, determine what, if any liability could attach to the company and how you should proceed towards holding this company accountable for your injuries.
Dealing with a company such as this one can be complicated based on several factors, including geography and jurisdictional issues, so contact a defective products attorney today to schedule that initial consultation.
