Olestra cause "anal leakage" and the FDA made them put that on the packages, and for some reason companies stopped making products with Olestra.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olestra#Side_effects
"Olestra (also known by its brand name Olean) is an artificial fat substance created by Procter & Gamble in 1968."
Side effects
Since it contains fatty acid moieties, Olestra is able to dissolve lipid-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, and Vitamin A, along with carotenoids. Fat soluble nutrients consumed along with Olestra products are excreted along with the undigested Olestra molecules. To counteract this loss of nutrient, products made with Olestra are now fortified with oil soluble vitamins to compensate for this loss to fecal matter.
In addition, Olestra formulations have been known to cause diarrhea and anal leakage, which is generally minor. When removing the Olestra warning label, the FDA cited a 6-week Procter & Gamble (makers of Olestra) study of more than 3000 people showing that an Olestra-eating group experienced only a small increase in bowel movement frequency.[3]
In 1999, researchers discovered that Olestra helps facilitate the removal of dioxins from the body, an unexpected side effect that may be of use in treating victims of dioxin poisoning. [4]

They had problems with people getting some really bad cases if diarrhea. I think they just let them quietly ride off into obscurity and quit making them.

No, it gave people involuntary anal leakage. Not a big selling point.
