| Canada: "Hydro-Lean" weight loss product seized from two Calgary stores due to serious safety risks |
| |
The unauthorized product "Hydro-Lean" was seized from two Calgary stores because the label indicates it contains a combination of ingredients that can cause serious health risks (ephedrine and caffeine). Canadians suffering from heart conditions, high blood pressure and diabetes are particularly at risk. Hydro-Lean is promoted for body building purposes, including for weight loss and increased energy. It has not been approved for sale in Canada.
Hydro Lean contains ingredients that can cause serious health problems. Ephedrine and caffeine, when combined, may cause serious and possibly fatal adverse effects. Ephedrine taken in combination with caffeine can cause symptoms ranging from dizziness, tremors, headaches and irregularities in heart rate to seizures, psychosis, heart attacks and stroke. Consumers are advised to consult your doctor if you have used this product and have health concerns.
