    Weight Loss Supplement Recalled Due to Toxic Ingredients

    A weight loss supplement called Lipofit Extreme Fat Burner 2.0 has been recalled due to the presence of two undeclared ingredients: fluoxetine and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP). Fluoxetine is used in FDA-approved drugs to treat various conditions, while DNP is a toxic substance commonly used as a pesticide and herbicide, not approved for human consumption. The recall was initiated after an analysis by the FDA revealed these undeclared ingredients. The supplement, packaged as AM and PM tablets, was distributed nationwide through online sales. Consumers are advised to stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for disposal instructions. No adverse events have been reported yet.
