Amphetamine-fortified Brazilian diet pills which were banished by U.S. regulators a year ago likely to have resurfaced in South Florida under a new name.

With the reappearance of these drug-laden diet pills, once again they may be jeopardizing people’s jobs. A toxicologist Terry Hall— who is with the federally certified Toxicology Testing Service in Miami— reports that a nurse came to him after she was stunned to learn she had tested positive for amphetamines during a preemployment test at Baptist Hospital.

She told hall, the only possible source she could bring to mind was some diet pills she found on eBay that supposedly had natural ingredients. They came in a box marked PEB-One. Hall says he saw the box, but doesn't recall any details about it.

After testing a tablet, Hall says PEB-One contained a tranquilizer and a particular molecule, cyanoethyl-amphetamine -- the same one he found in the Emagrece Sim tablets the Food and Drug Administration banned in January 2006 because the ingredients are illegal without a prescription.

''It's a different scam,'' Hall said, but it has the same ingredients.''

On the other side, the manufacturer of PEB-One could not be found instantly for their comments. Brazilian manufacturer in case of Emagrece Sim asserted that its pills were legitimate, but pills had been laced with illegal ingredients by counterfeiters.

Sales of PEB-One are now prohibited on the popular website, a spokeswoman for eBay said.
