Imperia Elita Vitaccino Coffee Lawsuit Overview

The Imperia Elita Vitaccino Coffee lawsuits center around the inclusion of undisclosed and dangerous pharmaceutical ingredients in a product marketed as a dietary supplement for weight loss. The primary allegations against manufacturers involve the alleged failure to disclose sibutramine and fluoxetine, both prescription medications with serious health risks, without informing consumers. Dash Xclusive initiated a voluntary recall in May 2021, following FDA analysis discovering these undisclosed ingredients, which pose significant health risks including increased blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, and severe psychiatric issues like suicidal thoughts.

Latest Imperia Elita Vitaccino Coffee Lawsuit Updates

June 1, 2021 – The University of Utah reported that Imperia Elita Vitaccino Coffee was recalled due to sibutramine, a banned substance linked to heart risks and previously removed from the U.S. market.

May 28, 2021 – According to the FDA, Dash Xclusive issued a nationwide recall of Imperia Elita Vitaccino Coffee after tests revealed sibutramine, a banned appetite suppressant linked to severe cardiovascular events [1].

FDA Reports and Statistics

According to FDA reports, Imperia Elita Vitaccino Coffee contained two undeclared prescription drugs:

  • Sibutramine: Previously approved as an appetite suppressant but withdrawn from the U.S. market due to serious safety concerns
  • Fluoxetine: An FDA-approved antidepressant that carries a boxed warning for suicidal thoughts and behaviors

The FDA has issued specific warnings about the dangers of these ingredients, noting that sibutramine ‘is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or stroke,’ and that fluoxetine may cause suicidal thoughts, serotonin syndrome, and other serious effects.

FDA testing in 2020–2021 found that 90% of 51 weight loss supplements from online retailers contained undeclared drugs, including sibutramine and fluoxetine, though specific prevalence rates for each drug were not reported.
