On June 26, 2007, the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) Dietary Supplements Information Expert Committee (DSI-EC) voted to require cautionary statements on the labels for green tea extracts.
The new labeling requirements came about after the USP DSI-EC reviewed numerous case reports suggesting a potential link between ingestion of products containing green tea extracts and liver damage. The original rating did not require cautionary statements.
The cautionary statement required on dietary supplements with green tea extracts will read:
Caution: Must take with a meal. In rare cases extracts from green tea have been reported to adversely affect the liver. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare practitioner if you have a liver disorder or develop symptoms of liver trouble, such as abdominal pain, dark urine, or jaundice.

Have any of these findings been associated with green tea itself (or black tea for that matter), or just extracts?
