FDA said that Sibutramine is not listed on the product label and could harm consumers, especially those with cardiovascular conditions.
FDA lab tests revealed that the product contains excessive amounts of Sibutramine that may be dangerous to people who have a history of cardiovascular disease, because it can lead to elevated blood pressure, stroke and heart attack.
Additionally, consumers who are otherwise healthy and who take the amount of Sibutramine found in Slimming Beauty capsules can experience anxiety, nausea, heart palpitations, a racing heart, insomnia and elevated blood pressure, FDA said.
Slimming Beauty is being sold over the Internet by Beautiful Health formerly LL Health and Beauty and the product and the sample packets are falsely labeled as ‘100% Herbal.’
FDA stated that the sample packet label is misleading because it indicates that it is a natural vitamin and calcium capsule for use in children as young as 2 years old.
