Bee Extremely Amazed LLC is recalling Asset BOLD Capsules because they contain undeclared sibutramine and phenolphthalein, making them unapproved drugs.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a severity score of 5 according to the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Bee Extremely Amazed LLC is recalling Asset BOLD Capsules, 500 mg, 60-count bottles, distributed by Descor, LLC. The product was marketed as a dietary supplement without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). The recall covers all lots distributed nationwide.

The FDA determined that the product is tainted with undeclared sibutramine, an appetite suppressant previously withdrawn from the US market for safety reasons, and phenolphthalein, an ingredient found in over-the-counter laxatives that was withdrawn due to concerns of carcinogenicity. The presence of these undeclared ingredients classifies the product as an unapproved drug.

Consumers who have purchased Asset BOLD Capsules should stop using the product and contact the distributor or manufacturer for further instructions.
