FDA Jan 24, 2018

Tigard, or, Magno-Humphries Laboratories, Inc, is voluntarily recalling one lot of Basic Drugs Brand of Senna Laxative tablets, 8.6 mg Sennosides, to the consumer level due to a customer complaint that their bottle labeled as Senna Laxative actually contained Basic Drugs Brand of Naproxen Sodium 220 mg.
