The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 5/5 (Critical).

Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4, and the presence of a withdrawn drug with known safety risks elevates the severity to Critical.

Plain-English summary

Bee Extremely Amazed LLC is recalling ZI XIU TANG BEAUTY FACE & FIGURE Capsules, 250 mg, 60-count bottles. The product was marketed as a dietary supplement but was found to be tainted with undeclared sibutramine.

Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant that was previously withdrawn from the US market for safety reasons. The presence of this substance makes the product an unapproved drug, as it was marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA).

The recall covers all lots of the product, which were distributed nationwide. Consumers who have purchased these capsules should stop using them and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
