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
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recalling SlimeX-15 Capsules, 15 mg, 30-count bottles. The product was marketed by Signature Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and manufactured in India by HAB Pharmaceuticals & Research Limited. The recalling firm is Bee Extremely Amazed LLC.
The recall was initiated because 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 Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant that was previously withdrawn from the U.S. market for safety reasons, making its presence in this product an unapproved drug.
The recall covers all lots of the product, which was distributed nationwide. Consumers who have purchased SlimeX-15 Capsules should stop using the product immediately and contact their healthcare provider if they have any concerns.
