People need to get off their lazy butts and exercise and eating right instead of taking pills to lose weight.

I tried Vemon and had some serious side effects. It felt after the third dose as if I was having a heart attack. I had chest pains and began vomiting. At that moment I discarded the rest. I now understand why it had those effects. Undeclared illegal ingredients.

I can only hope a class action emerges.

Someone is lobby the FDA to probe it. The pills is heading beyond all the FDA approved drugs. Remember they don’t tested everthing pills but rule out the whole drug categories. Rather than issueing a warnging they pull the pluged that is red flag, right. can the drug be modify? I don’t think so at this point because FDA pull the plug already. it is different to ask the maker to correct the problem versu recall.

yeah, you can stuff hamburger in you fat mouth and die in rate of 8 out 10 or you can use the rate 5 out of 10 taking the pills. lol.

To the commenters above – the point is these companies are selling products with undeclared ingredients. That means people DON’T KNOW what they’re taking, whether it works or not. Some of the ingredients in the “natural” and “herbal” “health supplements” are unnaproved drugs, excess amounts of pharmaceuticals that require a prescription, and even chemicals that are known carcinogens.

I have an idea. Instead of taking something that could KILL you, why don’ t you just take the damn cheesburger out of your fat mouth?

I think the problem is a contaminated BATCH of these pills, so while you may have safely taken them in the past, this BATCH might be bad. Something about they crammed them full of certain prescription drugs by ‘accident’. CNN Headline news has the story and that is what they are saying.
You are taking your life in your hands taking any medication these days it seems, they are all made in China, where they just might put anything handy into them, prescription or not apparently. Very scary.

How much do you think the Pharmaceutical Companies payed the “Powers that Be” in the FDA to declare this? How many people die each year because of “Approved” prescription drugs? I myself don’t approve of any diet pills or most drugs but I dislike the corrupt government bureaucracies getting involved in our lives even less.

This is the biggest crock of crap I have ever read in my life. I’ve been on Venom for two YEARS, I’m still alive, I’m still okay, I’m 60 pounds LIGHTER than I was. “May be potentially harmful” is not the same as “harmful.” It’s like being “almost” pregnant.

People need to take responsibility for their own actions. They decide to take the pill, not the FDA.
