| The United States: La Bri's Body Health Atomic and Xplode Capsules by EZ Weight Loss TX: Recall - undeclared drug ingredient sibutramine |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announces that EZ Weight Loss TX is voluntarily recalling all lots of La Bri's Body Health Atomic and Xplode capsules to the consumer level. FDA analysis has found the products to be tainted with sibutramine. These tainted products are marketed as dietary supplements. Atomic is packaged in 60- count bottles and Xplode is packaged in 30-count bottles. All lots and codes of Atomic and Xplode are included in this recall and were sold nationwide through internet sales starting in 2015.
Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant that was withdrawn from the US market in October 2010 for safety reasons. Sibutramine is known to increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke. Sibutramine may also interact, in life-threatening ways with other medications a consumer may be taking.
