The FDA and HIS now recall Miss Slim Dietary Supplement For Weight Loss.  This product is contaminated with sibutramine, an prescription drug for weight reduction that has been withdrawn from the market due to safety issues.  Sibutramine may trigger an increase in blood pressure and pulse rate that is dangerous for those with cardiovascular disease or stroke.  The presence of this substance in an over-the-counter product makes this supplement an unapproved, unsafe drug.  If you bought this supplement, stop using it and return it to the point of purchase.  If you have questions, contact HIS by phone at 1-718 216 0359 or via the email msslimusa@gmail.com.
