Recall Details

- October 7, 2013 - B@B Trade, Inc., Florida is voluntarily recalling all lots of Slim Fortune, Lidiy, and Slim Expert to the consumer level. The FDA laboratory analysis of these dietary supplements found to contain undeclared Sibutramine. Sibutramine was a previously approved controlled substance that was removed from the U.S. market in October 2010 for safety reasons, making these products unapproved new drugs.

This product may also interact, in life-threatening ways, with other medications a consumer may be taking. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to B@B Trade, Inc. to date in connection with these products.

The recalled products are packaged in plastic bottles as follows: Slim Fortune green capsules / 30 capsules per bottle, Lidiy green capsules, / 30 capsules per bottle, and Slim Expert 30 softgels capsules per bottle. All these products are marketed as a natural herb for weight loss.
