Leptin Green Coffee 800 and LeptinSlimming Bag Green Tea were tested positive for detrimental substancesas lab tests confirmed that the product contained ‘Sibutramine’, aningredient linked to occurrences of cardiovascular diseases, heartattacks and strokes.
The Ministry of Environment and Water (MOEW) banned the sale of theproduct as soon as it was confirmed that the product was posing enoughdanger. Shockingly enough, the company didn’t care to label the productwith the ingredient contents.
Obaid Juma Al Matroushi MOEW Acting Director-General, declared theproduct ban on Sunday by placing the products ‘off the shelves’ in themarket.
Ministry officials claim that the medical ingredients were notrecorded on the label, and it was not registered as medical productwhich meant that it could be sold without a prescription.
However, ‘America leptin pharmaceuticals’ is not available for any comments so far.
"Unilever, the producer of the Lipton brand of teas would like toclarify that it is in no way associated with American LeptinPharmaceutical Ltd., whose brand of Green Tea has been banned by theSaudi FDA as it contains sibutramine," VP marketing Iain Potter (Liptontea) said.
"We would like to confirm that all Lipton tea products are made ofnatural tea leaves and do not contain any artificial ingredients,especially those alleged in the American Leptin Pharmaceutical Ltdsproduct," potter said.

阿联酋禁售美国两种 Leptin减肥饮品
（迪拜30日马新社讯）阿拉伯联合酋长国已禁止售卖两种美国减肥饮品，
即Leptin绿咖啡800（Leptin Green Coffee 800） 及 Leptin 纤体绿茶包（Leptin Slimming Bag Green Tea ）。
迪拜《海湾新闻报》报导，测试显示有关两种减肥饮品含有有害物质，但在包装上却没有说明。

有关饮品由美国Leptin制药有限公司生产，与立顿（Lipton）有别。
该报章也引述北非联合利华及中东联合利华的谈话说，立顿茶并无有害物质。

Hi renovation, thanks for ur concern on this matter. The manufacturer are aware of this issue and they are aware and had rectify this problem. The products which contains sibutramine is actually those fake products from china. The manufacturer had a laboratory test on this products to clarify and prove that it does not contain sibutramine. Pls do not worry. Kindly remove the post from my thread as this will mislead my customers cos am selling original products directly from smartsense.
