In sweat glands potassium elimination is quite similar to the kidney; its excretion is also controlled by aldosterone. [medical citation needed] Regulation of serum potassium is a function of intake, appropriate distribution between intracellular and extracellular compartments, and effective bodily excretion.
The FDA later classified the situation as a Class I recall, the highest risk level for infection, suggesting "a reasonable probability" that a recalled product "will cause serious adverse health ...
