Three brands of imported slimming products have been recalled in Australia after they were found to contain a prescription medication which can cause heart attacks.
Moti Angel Coffee, Sumabe Acai Berry Coffee and Leptin weight-loss chocolate were found to contain sibutramine, a prescription medication withdrawn from sale across the country due to concerns regarding its safety, NSW Chief Health Officer, Dr Kerry Chant, said on Saturday.
Higher rates of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes have been linked to overweight patients using sibutramine, which can also interact with other medication.
