Recall Information Record

Case Number: 00000035347
Product: Herbal Medicine Pills for Lower Back Pain and Bruises

WHAT HAPPENED

The Japan Consumer Affairs Agency has issued 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 is triggered by the company’s decision to terminate its manufacturing and marketing business effective December 31, 2025 (Reiwa 8). As a result, the company can no longer ensure the quality and safety of products already in the market circulation.

This recall matters because it involves a pharmaceutical product where ongoing quality assurance is critical for consumer safety. Without the manufacturer’s continued oversight, there is a risk that products may degrade or become unsafe over time. The recall covers all lots and models currently in distribution, and the company has set the recall start date for June 1, 2026.

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 do not consume the product.
• Contact the company using the information provided on the recall notice for instructions on return or disposal.
• Monitor the official recall website (消費者庁リコール情報サイト) for updates or additional guidance.
