Healthy People Co. announced that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of the company’s dietary supplements sold under the brand names Healthy People Co. specific to the following Lot Numbers:
Healthy People Co. is conducting a voluntary recall because FDA lab analysis has confirmed the presence of Sibutramine and Tadalafil, making these products unapproved new drugs.
Sibutramine is an FDA-approved drug for appetite suppressant for the treatment of obesity, making dietary supplements: Mince Belle, Everlax, Ever Slim, Ever Slim Shake Mix Dietary Supplement Strawberry, and Ever Slim Shake Mix Dietary Supplement Chocolate unapproved drugs. It is a Schedule IV controlled substance and because of the risks associated with its use, it should be taken only under the direct supervision of a qualified health care professional. Sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk to patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke. Sibutramine has been withdrawn from the U.S. marketplace. The active drug ingredient is not listed on the label for the products listed above.
Tadalafil is an FDA-approved drug for the treatment of male Erectile Dysfunction (ED), making Perfect Men Dietary Supplement and Herbal Drink Acai-man Mangosteen Dietary Supplement unapproved drugs.
FDA advises that this poses a threat to consumers because tadalafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. Healthy People Co. advises any customers in possession of the products listed above with matching the lot numbers to return any unused product for a full refund to the company directly.
