Audience: Consumer, Health Professional
[Posted 12/24/2013]
ISSUE: Deseo Rebajar Inc., is voluntarily recalling lot #MFD: 07.18.2013 (Exp: 07.17.2015) of Burn 7 Capsules to the consumer level. FDA laboratory analysis found the Burn 7 Capsules to contain undeclared Sibutramine. Sibutramine was a previously approved controlled substance for the treatment of obesity that was removed from the U.S. market in October 2010 for safety reasons, making this product an unapproved new drug. 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.
BACKGROUND: The recalled products are packaged in 30-count plastic bottles labeled with lot number #MFD: 07.18.2013. The product lot was sold directly to individual customers in Fajardo, Caguas and Bayamon, Puerto Rico.
RECOMMENDATION: Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product. Consumers with questions should contact Deseo Rebajar Inc. at 787.961.6464 Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, [GMT time zone].
