Plain-English summary

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recalling hCG Body Shaper, a product distributed by HCG Body Shaper in St. Peters, Missouri. The product is described as containing Highly Purified Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin 5000 IU, Colloidal Silver B12, and stabilizers/excipients. The recall involves approximately 1,305 to 1,400 bottles that were distributed nationwide.

The recall was initiated because the product was marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). FDA analysis determined that the product is tainted with human chorionic gonadotropin, which renders it an unapproved drug. The bottles do not have code information printed on them.

Consumers who have purchased this product should stop using it and contact the recalling firm, Gary Wood, for further instructions. The product is labeled 'Not For Medical Use' and 'Must Be Refrigerated,' but its presence of unapproved active ingredients poses a regulatory and safety concern.
