Neptune Resources, which makes some tianeptine products, has issued a nationwide recall, according to an announcement posted this week.
Products that contain tianeptine are sold under several brand names, including Pegasus and Zaza, the CDC says.
The FDA has issued a warning urging consumers not to purchase or use tianeptine products due to serious risks including seizures, loss of consciousness and death.
In recent years, at least two deaths related to tianeptine products marketed as dietary supplements have been reported to the FDA, data shows.
Nine people said they had used tianeptine previously; six ingested tianeptine along with other substances, including alprazolam, kratom, tramadol, trazodone and gabapentin.
