*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* --San Diego, CA -- November 23, 2008 --- Fashion

Sanctuary is recalling all lot codes of Zhen De Shou Fat Loss Capsules sold

in 10 count blister cards. The recall was initiated after notification by

the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that lab analysis of Zhen De Shou

samples found the product to contain undeclared sibutramine, making it an

unapproved drug. Sibutramine is an FDA approved drug used as an appetite

suppressant for weight loss. This poses a potential 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.

The product was primarily distributed in the U.S and sold via the Internet.

It is sold in a box with an inner foil pouch. Inside the pouch is a blister

pack containing light and dark green capsules. This recall affects all lot

codes and use by dates. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date

in connection with this product.

Consumers who may have purchased product from this company should

immediately discontinue using the product and contact the firm at

zhendeshourecall@... to receive further instructions for returning the

product or with any questions.

We sincerely regret any inconvenience to consumers. The firm has taken this

voluntary action out of concern for the health and safety of consumers.

This recall is being made in cooperation with the US Food and Drug

Administration.

Any adverse reactions experienced with the use of this product should also

be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Program by phone at 1-800-FDA-1088, by fax

at 1-800-FDA-0178, by mail at MedWatch, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville,

MD 20852-9787, or on the MedWatch website at
