Slim-30 Weight Loss Drug Recall Update
|
Slim-30 Herb Supplement was recalled in mid-2010 because it contained undeclared drug ingredients. This recall now has heightened importance because one of those drugs, Sibutramine, has now itself been recalled.
FDA lab analysis of Slim-30 Herb Supplement in July 2010 revealed that it contained N-Desmethyl Sibutramine and traces of Sibutramine. Since then, Sibutramine has been recalled by the FDA.
Sibutramine was previously used as an appetite suppressant for weight loss, but available only by prescription. Slim-30 posed a threat to consumers because
Sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or stroke.
Slim-30 Herb Supplement was marketed as a Natural Herb for Weight Loss. Slim-30 Herb Supplement is packaged in plastic bottles containing 30 capsules per bottle and bears UPC 8 31457 005009 2. The affected lot/codes recalled are 032009 and 6032101. The product was sold to distributors and retail stores nationwide and China and via internet sales.
Consumers should immediately stop using Slim-30. If you believe you have experienced any side effects from Slim-30, you should report them to the FDA. You may do so online HERE. Also, save the product packaging, as it may help your ability to make a legal claim if you desire to do so. |
