# Major Recall Alert: Unauthorized Health Products Seized in Maple Ridge, BC
Health Canada has issued a warning regarding multiple unauthorized health products seized from two retail stores in Maple Ridge, British Columbia: Maxximus Supplements and Cutting Edge Nutrition, both located on Dewdney Trunk Road. These products, including A Summit Trenbolone Enanthate 300 MG/ML, AI PHARMA Anavar (oxandrolone), DAS LABS Mother Bucker, and FORZA Dianabol 25, pose serious health risks. These items are often used for purposes such as bodybuilding, anti-aging, athletic performance enhancement, or weight loss, but they lack Health Canada's authorization for safety, efficacy, and quality standards.
## Why This Recall is Important
Selling unauthorized health products is illegal in Canada and poses serious health dangers, as these substances:
- May contain prescription, controlled, or undisclosed drug ingredients.
- Can interact dangerously with other medications or conditions.
- Are often manufactured and stored under unsafe conditions, risking contamination.
- Carry heightened risks when injected, such as infections or allergic reactions.
Health Canada warns that some of the seized products are falsely labeled with Drug Identification Numbers (DINs), further misleading consumers. Legitimate health products in Canada must have an eight-digit DIN, Natural Product Number (NPN), or Homeopathic Medicine Number (DIN-HM). The absence of this certification means the products have not been subjected to Canada's stringent health and safety evaluations.
## Details of the Recall
Seized products include a variety of injectable peptides, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs), anabolic steroids, and testosterone compounds. These can be found under brands such as AI PHARMA, FORZA, and Centaurian Labs. Below are some examples of the recalled products:
- **AI PHARMA Anavar (oxandrolone)**
- **FORZA Anadrol (oxymetholone) 25 mg**
- **Centaurian Labs TB 500**
- **DAS LABS Mother Bucker (multiple flavors)**
- **CRP Canadian Research Peptides Semaglutide**
The implicated stores are:
1. **Maxximus Supplements**: #4A – 22214 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge, BC
2. **Cutting Edge Nutrition**: #4 – 20306 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge, BC
### Health Risks
Using unauthorized drugs can result in:
- Severe side effects related to incorrect dosages or unknown contaminants.
- Dangerous drug interactions.
- Infections or severe allergic reactions when injecting products that are not properly handled or sterile.
Prescription medications should only be used under medical supervision to treat specific conditions. These seized substances lack proper oversight, increasing the potential for harm.
## What You Should Do
To protect your health, Health Canada advises:
- **Immediately stop using these products.**
- **Consult a healthcare professional immediately** if you have used any of the seized items and are experiencing adverse effects.
- **Report the use of unauthorized health products** to Health Canada online or at 1-800-267-9675.
Consumers are also encouraged to only purchase health products that have been authorized by Health Canada. Check for an eight-digit DIN, NPN, or DIN-HM on the packaging to ensure the product meets quality and safety standards.
