- I would hope that no one would take any kind of weight loss supplement as most can be very hard on the body and most are dangerous [and there are much better & safer ways to achieve health].
Atomic and Xplode are names that I cannot believe any company would even name a product as it would seem that someone would have to hate themselves very much to take something with such a name.
Still, just in case anyone here who might have these products - or might know others who might:
EZ Weight Loss TX LLC Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Atomic and Xplode Capsules Due to the Presence of Undeclared Sibutramine
Corpus Christi, TX - July 24,2017
EZ Weight Loss TX is voluntarily recalling all lots of
* La Bri's Body Health Atomic and
* Xplode capsules to the consumer level. FDA analysis has found the products to be tainted with sibutramine.
Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant that was withdrawn from the U.S. market in October 2010 for safety reasons.
The presence of sibutramine in these products renders it an unapproved drug for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore subject to recall.

Sibutramine (usually in the form of the hydrochloride monohydrate salt) is an oral anorexiant . . . .
. . . most recently manufactured and marketed by Abbott Laboratories before its withdrawal from the market.
It was sold under a variety of brand names including Reductil, Meridia, Siredia, and Sibutrex. It is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance in the United States. . . .
. . . contraindications . . . .
. . . side-effects . . . .
. . . Counterfeit weight-loss products
December 22, 2008, the United States Food and Drug Administration issued an alert to consumers
naming 27 different products marketed as “dietary supplements” for weight loss, that illegally contain undisclosed amounts of sibutramine.
In March 2009, Dieter Müller et al. published a study of sibutramine poisoning cases from similar Chinese "herbal supplements" sold in Europe, containing as much as twice the dosage of the legally licensed drug.
An additional 34 products were recalled by the FDA on April 22, 2009, further underscoring the risks associated with unregulated "herbal supplements" to unsuspecting persons. . . .
. . . illegal imported supplements have been found to contain sibutramine . . . [worldwide] . . . .

While this appears to be undeclared in some products so an ingredient list may do no good [yet another reason to only go with trusted sources], this might show up in a variety of places so a key term to be aware of:
