The Food and Drug Administration says USPlabs of Dallas is recalling OxyElite pro products because they're believed to contain impurities. The dietary supplement is used for weight loss and muscle-building.
Investigators have linked the products to dozens of hepatitis and liver failure cases in Hawaii and other states.
The FDA says one person died, another needed a liver transplant and others are now awaiting transplants.
The recall was initiated after the FDA sent the company a letter stating that the products have been linked to liver illnesses.
The products involved in the recall include:
