    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).

Consumers are advised to stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for disposal instructions. No adverse events have been reported yet.
