Company Announcement
SiluetaYa is recalling its tejocote root because FDA analysis has determined that the products appear to be Thevetia peruviana, or yellow oleander. All parts of the yellow oleander plant are known to contain cardiac glycosides, which are highly toxic to humans and animals. Ingestion of yellow oleander can cause severe or even fatal neurological, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular adverse health effects. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, changes in heart rhythm, arrhythmia, and more.
The tejocote root was distributed online.
The product comes in an 8-ounce container.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The recall was the result of sampling conducted by the FDA.
Consumers who purchased tejocote root from the SiluetaYa line are advised not to consume it and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions can contact the company at contacto@siluetaya.com Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm Eastern Time.
