Amazon and other retailers across the United States and Puerto Rico are sending out emails to alert customers that “all alli weight loss products” are being recalled. According to a statement released from the company GSK states, “that some packages of the product were tampered with and may contain product that is not authentic a lli.”
As of right now GSK is conducting an investigation and is working with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on this retailer level recall.
“Safety is our first priority and we are asking retailers and pharmacies to remove all alli® from their shelves immediately,” said Colin Mackenzie, President Consumer Healthcare North America. “We have posted a Consumer Alert on our website, www.myalli.com, and issued a News Release with information and photographs to help consumers determine if their alli® is authentic.”
Consumers who have product they are unsure or concerned about should not use it. Instead, they should call GSK promptly at 800-671-2554, and a representative will provide further instructions. If they have consumed questionable product, they should also contact their healthcare providers.
“We are committed to finding out what happened and to doing everything possible to prevent future issues with alli,” said Mackenzie. “We regret any inconvenience caused by this retailer recall.”
