Toxic slimming pill drug DNP to be declared poison in the UK – BBC News


A highly toxic chemical compound sold illegally in diet pills is to be reclassified as a poison, a UK government minister has said.

Pills containing DNP, or 2,4-dinitrophenol, were responsible for the deaths of 32 young vulnerable adults, said campaigner Doug Shipsey.

His daughter Bethany, from Worcester in England, died in 2017 after taking tablets containing the chemical.
