StarCaps recall expanded
Balanced Health Products expands its voluntary recall of StarCaps Diet Systemto include additional lots - numbers 12/2009-82866 and 12/2010-8301 - because the capsules in the 30-count bottles contain the undeclared ingredient bumetanide, a diuretic that can cause serious fluid and electrolyte loss.
