0

Dietary supplement retailer Herbalife Ltd. on Wednesday responded to an alert issued by Spain’s Ministry of Health that warns consumers of possible liver problems associated with Herbalife’s products, the Associated Press reports.


The company said the ministry issued a warning Monday cautioning consumers about “suspicious cases” of hepatic toxicity, or liver damage from chemicals, associated with the consumption of products from Herbalife.


The company said the alert did not mention any specific products or ingredients that could have caused the liver problems.


The company added there has been “an extremely low incidence of serious adverse event reports citing liver function abnormalities” in the 28 years that it has been selling products.


Herbalife said it will cooperate with Spanish authorities to “help them more fully understand the scientific issues involved and the safety of our products.”
