What this means for you

Plain-English summary
Herbal Give Care Llc is recalling 311 pouches of Esbelin Siloutte Te, a herbal tea sold in gold foil/plastic zip-lock pouches. The product was manufactured in Mexico and distributed nationwide to distributors, with some units sold directly to consumers. All lots are affected.
The recall was initiated because the product was marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). Testing revealed the presence of undeclared sibutramine, N-Desmethylsibutramine, and N-di-Desmethylsibutramine. Sibutramine was previously removed from the U.S. market for safety reasons, which classifies these products as unapproved new drugs.
Consumers who possess this product should stop using it and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
