Private-brand health and beauty care manufacturer Vi-Jon is recalling all variants of one of its laxatives after the product was found to trigger adverse reactions.
On June 21, Vi-Jon announced that it was recalling one lot of Magnesium Citrate Saline Laxative Oral Solution Lemon Flavor, 10 fl. oz. (296 ml.), as testing identified the lot to contain the bacteria Gluconacetobacter liquefaciens. On July 14, the company expanded the voluntary recall to the entire lot. And in its recent announcement, Vi-Jon once more expanded the recall, this time including “all lots of all flavors,” a July 25 press release states.
In addition to the lemon flavor, the latest recall adds in cherry and grape flavors. The product is used for relief from occasional constipation. Once consumed, the product usually triggers a bowel movement within 30 minutes to six hours….
