Leader Formulas recalled Rapture pre-workout after FDA found undeclared DMAA

Leader Formulas recalled its Rapture Pre Workout dietary supplement in three flavours — Berry Mojito, Rainbow Twist and Electric Lemonade, each a 30-serving, 450-gram package — after FDA product testing discovered the presence of 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA), an ingredient not declared on the label.

The FDA considers DMAA capable of raising blood pressure and causing cardiovascular problems. Its enforcement report, updated on 2 October 2026, classifies all three recall records (H-0004-2027, H-0005-2027 and H-0006-2027) as Class I, the agency's most serious classification. The recall record identifies lot number 260327-4 across the flavours, covering 75, 52 and 43 units respectively.

The affected products had been distributed nationwide through internet sales. The company initiated the recall after the FDA's laboratory analysis confirmed DMAA in Rapture Pre Workout; the recall record itself does not establish that every unit in the lot tested positive.

An undeclared drug-like stimulant in a supplement makes the product misbranded and potentially dangerous.

DMAA's cardiovascular risks are exactly the kind consumers cannot detect before drinking a pre-workout.

Internet distribution meant affected units could be anywhere in the country, widening the recall's scope.

The FDA's own testing — not the company's checks — is what surfaced the ingredient.

Supplement supply chains drift: if you do not test every lot for banned stimulants, the FDA's lab will — after your customers have already swallowed them.

As of 2 October 2026 the recall stood classified Class I across all three flavours, with 170 units in scope and consumers advised not to consume the product.
