| The United States: Inaffit, LLC issues voluntary nationwide recall of Natureal due to undeclared sibutramine |
| |
Inaffit, LLC is voluntarily recalling all lots of Natureal light green and dark green capsules to the consumer level after FDA laboratory testing found Natureal to contain sibutramine. The product is used as a weight loss dietary supplement and is packaged in clear bottle with light green and dark green capsules.
Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant that was withdrawn from the U.S. market in October 2010. 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. This undeclared ingredient makes this product an unapproved new drug for which safety and efficacy have not been established. This product may also interact in life-threatening ways with other medications a consumer may be taking.
Inaffit, LLC is notifying its customers by Email and is arranging for return. Consumers who are currently in possession of recalled Natureal light green and dark green capsules should stop using the product and discard it.
