Such as...?
That's an enormous claim to make; I think it's fair to say such a claim should be accompanied by some kind of evidence, as I seriously doubt it's common knowledge if true.
Such as fen-phen (made illegal for absolutely no reason whatsoever, very safe), ECA (semi-legal depending on where you live, I wouldn't be surprised if it got delegalized completely at some point for no reason whatsoever, very safe), amphetamines (extremely illegal, in amounts needed to fight obesity very safe).
ECA in particular has enormous amount of research behind it, freely available on pubmed.
Unless you know the right lies.
Olestra (not a drug, but a chemical solution to part of the obesity problem) had a lot of promise. It didn't get banned, but people did freak out about a generally minor side effect, hold a health scare, and finally send it into commercial oblivion.
