* - Pictures of the product labels are included herewith for easier identification.
Sample analysis by the FDA has revealed that these products contain the undeclared drug ingredient salicylic acid making these unapproved new drugs.
Salicylic acid is acutely toxic, not recommended for oral use and is harmful if swallowed. Nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal irritation, loss of hearing, sweating to severe reactions of blurred vision, mental confusion, cerebral edema and cardiorespiratory arrest which could be life-threatening may occur. Since the labeling does not state salicylic acid is contained it the product, individuals who are allergic, elderly, have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding problems, consume ≥ 3 alcoholic drinks per day, or take concomitant medications containing salicylates are at higher risk for toxicity. No illnesses from these products have been reported to date.
These products are marketed as dietary supplements aiding in weight loss, produced in capsule form, and were sold in bottles. These products were distributed nationwide to distributors.
