Synopsis: Universal ABC Beauty Supply International, Inc. has been informed by FDA that FDA analyses of dietary supplements distributed were found to contain Sibutramine.

Introduction

Main Content

These dietary supplements are not supposed to contain Sibutramine. The FDA has not approved these products, therefore the safety and effectiveness of these products is unknown.
