B@B Trade of Florida is recalling all lots of Slim Fortune, Lidiy, and Slim Expert because they contain undeclared sibutramine, a previously controlled substance that was removed from the marketplace in 2010. Sibutramine substantially increases blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant health risk to those with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or stroke. The product can also interact in life-threatening ways with other medications.
The recalled products are: Slim Fortune green capsules, 30 capsules per bottle; Lidiy green capsules, 30 capsules per bottle; and Slim Expert 30 softgels capsules per bottle. All are marketed as a natural herb for weight loss. They were sold directly to individual customers in the Florida sales office and online. You can see all of the product labels at the FDA web site.
If you have purchased any of these products, discard them or return to the place of purchase for a refund. If you have experienced problems, contact your healthcare provider. You can report adverse reactions to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting Program.
