Plain-English summary
Golean Detox US is recalling 37 boxes of Golean DETOX capsules, 28-count capsules per box. The product was distributed nationwide in the USA. The recall covers all lots remaining within expiry.
The FDA is recalling this product because it was marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). FDA analysis found the product contains undeclared sibutramine and phenolphthalein. Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant that was withdrawn from the US market due to safety concerns. Phenolphthalein was once used in over-the-counter laxatives but is not currently approved for marketing in the US due to concerns of carcinogenicity.
The presence of these undeclared ingredients renders the product an unapproved drug for which safety and efficacy have not been established. Consumers should stop using the product and contact the recalling firm for instructions on how to return it.
