Recalled weight loss drugs with a banned substance can cause seizures and heart attacks

All lots, all expiration dates of 365 Skinny High Intensity Pills and 365 Skinny Emergency Boutique capsules have been recalled by manufacturer Je Dois L’avoir Boutique after they were found to contain an illegal substance once common in weight loss drugs.

Sibutramine hasn’t been allowed in the U.S. market since 2010.

“The 365 Skinny High Intensity Pills and 365 Skinny Emergency Boutique potentially can cause serious health risks such as seizures, tachycardia, palpitations, heart attacks and allergic reactions,” the company-written, FDA-posted recall notice states. “Risks associated with this product are more likely with people who have high blood pressure, thyroid disease, men or woman over 65 or children under 16 years old.”
