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

Olaax International is recalling MAXILOSS Weight Advanced, a 225 mg proprietary blend of herbs supplied in 36-count capsules in green and blue boxes. The product was formulated and distributed by Olaax Corp in Lakeland, Florida. The recall covers 600 boxes and all lots.

The recall was initiated because the product contains sibutramine, a previously approved FDA drug that was removed from the U.S. marketplace for safety reasons. Consequently, the product is considered an unapproved new drug marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA).

The product was distributed nationwide, as well as in Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Bolivia. Consumers should stop using the product and return it to the place of purchase for a refund or follow instructions from the recalling firm.
