Two deaths reported to the FDA after use of bootleg 'Reta'
CBS News found two US adverse-event reports in which people died after taking products sold as retatrutide from unreliable sources, though it is not confirmed the drug caused the deaths. Lilly says black-market versions have been found with the wrong dose, the wrong ingredient or contaminants, and it is suing sellers.
