Recall Information Record

Case Number: 00000035347
Product: Herbal Medicine Pills for Lower Back Pain and Bruises
Brand: Tenkeido Seiyaku
Hazards: Safety Risk

WHAT HAPPENED

The Japan Consumer Affairs Agency has published a recall notice for “腰専門、小粒 打身丸” (Lower Back Specialist, Small Pills Uchimi Maru) manufactured by Tenkeido Pharmaceutical. The recall was initiated on June 1, 2026, due to the company’s decision to terminate its manufacturing and marketing authorization business effective December 31, 2026 (Reiwa 8). This cessation means that the company can no longer guarantee the quality and safety of products already circulating in the market.

This recall matters because it involves a pharmaceutical product intended for lower back pain relief. Without ongoing quality assurance, there is a risk that the product may not meet required safety standards, potentially leading to health risks for consumers. The recall is proactive, aiming to remove all affected units from circulation before the company’s closure.

Consumers who have purchased this product should take the following steps:

• Check the product name and packaging to confirm it matches “腰専門、小粒 打身丸” by Tenkeido Pharmaceutical.
• Discontinue use immediately and contact the company or the Consumer Affairs Agency for return and refund instructions.
• Visit the official recall information site (https://www.recall.caa.go.jp) and search for management number 00000035347 for further details.
