Ana Salazar Modela Tu Cuerpo Inc. is recalling Lipofit Extreme Fat Burner 2.0 after FDA laboratory analysis found undeclared fluoxetine in its daytime tablets and undeclared 2,4-dinitrophenol, or DNP, in its nighttime tablets, according to a company announcement posted by the US Food and Drug Administration

The recalled product can cause nausea, vomiting, sweating, dizziness, and headaches. More serious risks include dangerous heart rhythms, rapid heart rate, cardiac arrest, seizures, abnormal bleeding, suicidal thoughts, dangerously high body temperature, and rapid breathing
Cardiac arrest can result in sudden death, the announcement said. Long-term exposure may also damage the eyes, skin, bone marrow, nervous system, and heart
