Universal ABC Beauty Supply International, Inc - Recall

[Guest guest]

" Universal ABC Beauty Supply International, Inc. of Brooklyn, NY, has been

informed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that FDA lab analyses of

the dietary supplements distributed by the company were found to contain

undeclared Sibutramine, an FDA-approved drug used as an appetite suppressant

for weight loss. These dietary supplements are not supposed to contain

Sibutramine. The FDA has not approved these products, therefore the safety

and effectiveness of these products is unknown.

FDA advises that these products pose a threat to consumers because

Sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse

rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a

history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or

stroke.

All lots of the following dietary supplement products are being recalled:
