Test result of a diet pill shows health risk

December 07, 2005

According to White Plains-based ConsumerLab.com LLC, a local nutritional-supplement testing company, the results of the tests on TrimSpa X32, a diet pill showed that the supplement contained 42 percent more chromium than claimed on its label. In addition, ConsumerLab.com said the test samples showed trace amounts of a toxic form of chromium.

As a result, a conflict took place between the nutritional-supplement testing company and the manufacturer of the popular diet pill after the publication of test results which showed that the supplement may put users' health at risk. The test results earned TrimSpa X32, the diet pill, a "Not Approved" tag. The maker of the weight-loss supplement rejected the findings and said its product was safe and contained only what was shown exactly on the product's packaging.
