Recalls: weight loss dietary supplements
 Young You Corp. is recalling four weight loss dietary supplements because they contain a drug ingredient not declared on the products' packaging. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date, according to the Tarzana, Calif., company. The recalled products contain undeclared sibutramine, which is known to increase blood pressure and pulse rate in some patients and may pose a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmia or stroke.

The company said the Food and Drug Administration had not approved the products as drugs, so their safety and effectiveness is not known. The recalled products include Slimbionic; One Weight Loss Pill 30 capsules; SlimDemand Capsules; and Botanical Weight Loss. The recalled products were sold and distributed nationwide via the internet and at the company's Weight Loss and Rejuvenation Center in Tarzana. For more information, consumers can call 818-344-3344. Adverse reactions can be reported to the Food and Drug Administration at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch .
