WHAT HAPPENED

Tenkeido Pharmaceutical has announced a recall of its product “Lower Back Specialist, Small Grain Contusion Pills” (腰専門、小粒 打身丸). 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. This cessation means that the company can no longer ensure the quality and safety of products already circulating in the market.

This recall is significant because it involves a health-related product where quality assurance is critical. Without ongoing oversight from the manufacturer, there is a potential risk that products may degrade or become unsafe over time. The Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) has listed this recall with management number 00000035347, and reference information is available from the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA).

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

• Check the product name and packaging to confirm it matches the recalled item.
• Discontinue use immediately and do not consume the product.
• Contact Tenkeido Pharmaceutical or the retailer where you purchased the item for instructions on return or disposal.
• Refer to the PMDA website or the CAA recall information site for further updates and official guidance.
