WASHINGTONAn unauthorized seller of Globe All Wellness LLC weight-loss supplement sold products that contained the undeclared drug sibutramine, according to FDAs analyses. Therefore, the company is recalling all of its Slim Xtreme Herbal Slimming Capsule 30 Capsules/Bottle as a precautionary measure.

FDA advises that this product poses 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. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to Globe All Wellness LLC to date in connection with this product.

The products were sold and distributed nationwide via the Internet and at the companys headquarters in Hollywood, Florida. This recall does not affect the sales and distribution of Globe All Wellness, LLCs other products such as SLIM XTREME GOLD or GELSLIM.

Globe All Wellness LLC said it has taken this voluntary action because it is committed to providing accurate information about its products and because of the concern for the health and safety of consumers. Globe All Wellness LLC is working with FDA in the recall process.
