De Cruz was seeking damages for injuries she alleged were caused by the drug and to cover the cost of her liver transplant surgery and treatment against the pill's against Health Biz, the importer and distributor of Slim 10 diet pills and also Tan, who sold the pills to her. Tan was later cleared while the distributors were forced to compensate her. He was acquitted of the charges in the lawsuit.[5]
