The United States: Lucy's Weight Loss System Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Pink Bikini and Shorts on The Beach Dietary Supplements Due To Possible Undeclared Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient |
|
Lucy's Weight Loss System of Arlington, TX, is voluntarily recalling all lots of Pink Bikini and Shorts on the Beach Capsules in all colors, 30 count (750MG per capsule) to the consumer level. Pink Bikini and Shorts on the Beach may contain an undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredient.
FDA analysis of Pink Bikini (white capsules, blue capsules and gold capsules) and Shorts on the Beach (blue capsules and gold capsules) found these products to be tainted with Sibutramine, Phenolphthalein, and/or Diclofenac, and that these active ingredients are not declared on the label of the product.
Lucy’s Weight Loss System is recommending that Pink Bikini and Shorts on the Beach, in all strengths and pill colors not be consumed, as they may contain any of these undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients and/or an unknown active pharmaceutical ingredient. Any of these undeclared ingredients would make these products unapproved new drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established.
Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using these drug products.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm483928.htm
