- the capsules contain the undeclared substance sibutramine
- consumers are advised that sibutramine is a prescription-only substance
- Sibutramine was withdrawn from world markets in 2010 due to increased risk of cardiac events and stroke.
The supply of Ja Dera 100% Natural Weight Loss Supplement capsules is illegal.
