[Guest guest]

With a name like this I had to search further - anyone familiar down in

Florida with this company??? The web site is under construction

here<http://www.svelte30.com/>when I checked. Found moreinfo

here<http://www.manta.com/c/mtp5qvt/svelte-30-nutritional-consultants-llc>

-----------------------

Svelte 30 Nutritional Consultants has been informed by the Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) that a sample of *Svelte 30 orange & gray capsule* was

collected and tested by FDA in January 2011. The capsules tested positive

for Sibutramine, an FDA-approved drug used as an appetite suppressant for

weight loss. The FDA has not approved Svelte 30 orange & gray capsules as

drugs; therefore the safety and effectiveness of this product is unknown.

FDA advises that these products may pose 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.

Svelte 30 orange & gray capsules are marketed as a Natural Herb for Weight

Loss. Svelte 30 Herb Supplement is packaged in plastic bottles containing 30

capsules per bottle and bears UPC #’s from 04-3000 to 04-5999. Were MFD:

10/22/2010 with EXP: 10/21/2012. This lot would have been available for sale

on January 03, 2011.
