,On 7 January 2026, Anthony Trinh, 123Herbals LLC, based in Rosemead, California, announced a voluntary consumer-level recall of all lots of Silintan capsules following findings by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the product is tainted with meloxicam.
Meloxicam is an FDA-approved nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indicated for the management of osteoarthritis pain. Products containing meloxicam cannot be legally marketed as dietary supplements. The presence of this active pharmaceutical ingredient renders Silintan capsules an unapproved new drug, for which safety and efficacy have not been established, making the product subject to recall under U.S. law.
Health Risk
According to the company, exposure to meloxicam at doses exceeding the recommended maximum of 15 mg/day may pose a reasonable probability of serious and potentially life-threatening adverse events, including blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. Additional risks include hypersensitivity reactions, gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, and perforation, as well as acute kidney injury, particularly among elderly individuals. Significant drugdrug interactions may also occur in consumers taking blood thinners or other NSAIDs, substantially increasing the risk of bleeding.
As of the recall announcement, no adverse events had been reported to 123Herbals LLC.
