The US Food and Drug Administration has recalled of Total Body Formula in tropical and peach nector flavors and Total Body Mega Formula in the orange/tangerine flavor. Following the FDA recall, Kentucky officials issued a health advisory on April 9, 2008 warning that these dietary supplements may cause serious health problems, including significant hair loss, muscle cramps, diarrhea, joint pain and fatigue.
The FDA analyzed samples of the Total Body products and found extremely high levels of the trace mineral selenium. Kentucky officials have correctly advised individuals to seek medical attention if they become sick after the use of the product. However, Kentucky officials have mistakenly instructed individuals to dispose of the product. Instead, these individuals should secure the product for their legal team to pursue their claims against the makers of Total Body Formula and Total Body Mega Formula.
