The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says to be careful when trying to shed those extra holiday pounds you packed on. The government has listed nearly 30 weight-loss pills that pose health risks, including:
| Fatloss Slimming | 2 Day Diet | 3x Slimming Power |
| Japan Lingzhi 24 Hours Diet | 5x Imelda Perfect Slimming | 3 Day Diet |
| 7 Day Herbal Slim | 8 Factor Diet | 7 Diet Day/Night Formula |
| 999 Fitness Essence | Extrim Plus | GMP |
| Imelda Perfect Slim | Lida DaiDaihua | Miaozi Slim Capsules |
| Perfect Slim | Perfect Slim 5x | Phyto Shape |
| ProSlim Plus | Royal Slimming Formula | Slim 3 in 1 |
| Slim Express 360 | Slimtech | Somotrim |
| Superslim | TripleSlim | Zhen de Shou |
| Venom Hyperdrive 3.0 |
|

The FDA says these pills are available online and even in some retail stores:
An FDA analysis found that the undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients in some of these products include sibutramine (a controlled substance), rimonabant (a drug not approved for marketing in the United States), phenytoin (an anti-seizure medication), and phenolphthalein (a solution used in chemical experiments and a suspected cancer causing agent). Some of the amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients far exceeded the FDA-recommended levels, putting consumers’ health at risk.
