The usual suspects are in there — eggs, cheeses, random vegetables — but we did find a few more surprising gems. Remember: only you can keep your family safe from potentially lethal neck massagers.
Shoulderflex Massager
This neck massager killed a person. No seriously, this thing is more dangerous than that creepy gym couch that kept rubbing your neck at the volleyball meet.
Simply Thick Thickening Gel
This was pulled because they didn’t file paperwork or something boring like that. The name just keeps cracking me up.
Grillers’ Blend Cat Food
Pulled for potential health risks. Apparently it made your cat think it could grill outdoors without proper cooking utensils.
Toxic Waste Bubble Gum
You mean to tell me a candy with the name Toxic Waste had trace amounts of lead that could cause health problems? They really should have seen that one coming.
Toffuti Milk-Free Cones
Pulled because of possible trace level of milk contamination. Wamp wamp.
Duro Extend Male Enhancer
The link to why this was pulled is dead. But we have some pretty good ideas why you shouldn’t put this in your mouth.

Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 7:23 PMFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Miami, FL – October 27, 2010 – Intelli Health Products, announced today that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of Duro Extend Capsules For Men. Intelli Health Products, is conducting this recall after being informed by representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that laboratory analysis of Duro Extend Capsules For Men sample found the product to be adulterated with Sulfoaidenafil, an analogue of sildenafil which is an FDA approved drug used in the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction(ED), making it an unapproved new drug.
Use of this product may pose a threat to consumers because the analogue may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. ED is a common problem in men with these conditions, and consumers may seek these types of products to enhance sexual performance.
Duro Extend Capsules are sold nationwide. The products are sold as a blister pack containing one capsule per unit of use 24-packs in a Box. Lot number and expiration date appears on the seal.
