Universal ABC Beauty Supply Recalls Weight Loss Pills After FDA Warning
New York-based company, Universal ABC Beauty Supply International Inc., recalled 34 weight loss products after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned of risks from consuming the products.
The FDA informed the company that the diet pills and supplements contain Sibutramine, a drug that can lead to a substantial increase in blood pressure and an accelerated heart rate. This could cause health risks in people with a history of cardiac problems. None of the products have been approved by the FDA, although, Sibutramine has been approved by the agency for use as a weight loss drug. Because these weight loss products have not received FDA approval, there can be no guarantees of the safety and effectiveness of the products.

Diet pill and supplement companies make up a billion dollar industry. However, some pills may have side effects, including nervousness, diarrhea, accelerated heart rate, tremors, increase in blood pressure, and cardiac arrest. Just because pills promise to give you a slim figure does not mean they are completely harmless and contain no side effects. Medical injury lawyers advise people who use these drugs to follow all dosage instructions carefully and consult their physician before they begin taking them.
