Recall of Metaboslim Apple Cider Vinegar

eileen · 08-20-2007, 10:28 AM

Health Canada is advising Canadians of a recall in the United
States of one lot of Metaboslim Apple Cider Vinegar, which is
marketed as a dietary supplement, because it has been found to
contain sibutramine, a prescription medication that should only
be taken under medical supervision.
