A 3-year-old male ingested several tablets of his mother’s diet supplement, which had been obtained from Mexico. While he did not develop clinical signs of toxicity, exposure to this product was concerning based on the active ingredient it reportedly contained. This chapter reviews some of the agents found in “diet pills,” how they cause toxicity, and clinical symptoms associated with toxicity.
