Massage Therapist Dies from Chinese Diet Pills

August 3, 2018 by Shaun Hudson

I founded this website to help keep people safe.  Stories like this unfortunate one I just read only solidify my decision to keep at it.  In the United Kingdom, a massage parlor worker has died from what’s presumed to be buying unregulated medicine online.  The magical pills promised a “slimming effects,” of course, which is akin to what we call diet pills, or fat burners, here in the USA.

Woman Dies from Chinese Slimming Pills

Shouhong Du, just 48 years young, died in a Worthing Hospital on March 31 after spending 16 days in a coma.  The Coroner came to the conclusion that she passed away from “misadventure.”  In an additional statement, she also sent a warning message to people looking for weight loss products online:

“I would like to offer the family of Shouhong Du our sincere condolences for the sad loss of her in these circumstances. “I hope that the details of her death can be shared to prevent others from buying tablets over the internet when they are not sure of the exact contents.”

Du moved to the UK to work at the Tranquility Chinese medicine and massage parlour in Worthing.  When she collapsed and was found unresponsive, emergency services were summoned and she was rushed to the hospital.  It was at the hospital where the slimming pills were found by the staff and it was deemed she purchased them online from China. The full story can be read on this page.

 

This is certainly a sad story.  Whenever I read about unregulated medicine taking the life of someone, I think of all bad things that are probably happening in shady labs across the globe. I’m not one for going on on record pointing the finger to overseas labs, per say, but I will go on record saying that they simply do NOT have the same rules, regulations, and checks and balances that a laboratory in the USA has.  Even in Canada, where there were some hiccups and product recalls in the past with Hydroxycut diet pills, they do have a more firm grip on the operations when compared to overseas labs, and I’m mainly referring to China when I say overseas.
Office
Du worked in this building in the UK.
As a manufacturer in the skin care industry, my company has sourced products from just about everywhere before making the ultimate decision to only manufacture personal care products (outside of electronic devices) only in the USA.  The labs are watched over and routinely inspected, whereas, overseas, you never know what you are going to get in terms of product quality.
It’s heartbreaking to read about someone’s carelessness leading to injury, or in this case, death. I hope they backtrack and find wherever these pills were purchased and open an investigation, asap.
You’ll find that the safest weight reduction products are made in the USA. It’s not happenstance, it’s because the FDA is very a very careful watchdog over these facilities and they don’t let them run afoul of the rules.
