All these Patanjali products were manufactured at Divya Pharmacy in Uttarakhand. The Nepal's drug authority has asked the Patanjali Ayurveda unit in Nepal to inform them about steps being taken to recall the products in line with local medicine laws, reported Hindustan Times.

It may be recalled that the Indian Army has stopped sale of Patanjali's Amla juice across its canteens, Canteen Stores Department, after it received negative test report on samples it had sent to Food Safety Standards Authority of India laboratory. The 'unsafe' Amla juice exposes defence personnel to certain health risks., according to a report in The Economic Times.

In 2016,a PIL in Gujarat High Court had sought ban on the sale of shilajeet, a product used to enhance sexual prowess, by Yoga guru Baba Ramdev's Patanjali brand of medicines. The PIL was filed on the ground that selling a product like shilajeet under the brand name of Patanjali, who is a very revered saint for the Hindus, hurts religious sentiments. Later,the PIL was withdrawn.
