WHAT HAPPENED

The Japan Consumer Affairs Agency has published a recall notice (ID: 00000035347) for “腰専門、小粒 打身丸” (Lower Back Specialist, Small Grain Contusion Pills) manufactured by Tenkeido Pharmaceutical. The recall was initiated because the company will terminate its manufacturing and marketing business effective December 31, 2026 (Reiwa 8), and consequently cannot guarantee the quality and safety of products already circulating in the market.

This recall matters because it involves a pharmaceutical product intended for consumer use, and the loss of quality assurance poses potential health risks. The recall covers all lots and units currently in the market, with no specific model numbers, lot numbers, or JAN codes provided. The recall process begins on June 1, 2026.

If you have purchased or are using this product, please take the following steps:

• Check the product name on the package to confirm it matches “腰専門、小粒 打身丸”.
• Discontinue use immediately and do not consume the product.
• Contact Tenkeido Pharmaceutical using the information provided in the recall notice for instructions on return or disposal.
• Follow any additional guidance from the Consumer Affairs Agency or PMDA (Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency).
