Some doctors warn that some popular diet pills could be dangerous. Over-the-counter diet pills known as the "Brazilian pills," claim to be all-natural, but lab tests have found that some variations of them contain illegal amphetamines, NBC 6's Jaylene Rodriguez reported.

At least four unsuspecting women taking the diet pills failed pre-employment drug tests at Baptist Health South Florida, Rodriguez reported.

Thomas Moore, the corporate director of employment health services at Baptist Health South Florida, said the women were very surprised.
