One person has been hospitalised after consuming Dexaprine XR Green Apple, which contains illegal levels of caffeine and another substance not entirely unlike amphetamine.

The product was recalled on Thursday.

There was no detail on the location of the person in Australia.

According to The Canberra Times, an ACT Health spokeswoman said the product was sold in one ACT business, with three outlets in Canberra, along with a number of online retailers, although the business said they had never received the product.

First poison mushrooms and now dodgy sports drinks.
