Plain-English summary

Fit Firm and Fabulous is recalling Ultimate Herbal Slimcap Capsules, 350 mg, 30-count bottles. The product is labeled as Part 1 of 3 and carries the UPC 5 42423 25422 1. The recall involves 3,000 bottles with lot numbers ranging from 05/02/2015 to 05/01/2017.

The FDA determined that the product was marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). Although marketed as a dietary supplement, the product was found to be tainted with undeclared sibutramine. Sibutramine is a previously approved controlled substance that was removed from the U.S. market in October 2010 for safety reasons. The presence of this undeclared substance renders the product an unapproved drug.

The product was distributed nationwide in the U.S.A. via the company's website. Consumers who have purchased this product should stop using it and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
