Hydroxycut has been linked to serious, life threatening Hydroxycut side effects including liver injuries. While it is no secret that diet pills are not the healthiest choice, Hydroxycut injuries are especially scary because they can have fatal effects.
In fact, one Hydroxycut user has already died from liver damage. The 19-year-old Hydroxycut user died in 2007 after using the products designed and marketed for weight loss. Although it is only one death among the millions of people who have used Hydroxycut products, Government officials believe that is one too many. And, there may be more Hydroxycut deaths that just haven’t been reported.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in May 2009 that they have received a total of 23 patient reports of liver injuries among Hydroxycut users since they hit the U.S. market. In an advisory letter sent out May 1, 2009, the FDA advised consumers to stop using the dangerous products.
Shortly after the FDA Hydroxycut warning letter came out and disclosed the link between liver damage and Hydroxycut, Iovate Health Sciences (with the help of the FDA) recalled the majority of Hydroxycut-branded products. The recall was based on the risk of liver failure in dieters and bodybuilders who use the supplements for weight loss and energy boosts.
Patients who experienced liver damage from Hydroxycut have complained about the following symptoms:
If you have been taking a Hydroxycut weight loss product (or have taken it in the past) you must be aware of the seriousness involved with the risk of liver damage. If you begin to experience any combination of the symptoms listed above, it is a good idea to seek immediate medical attention.
If you are in fact diagnosed with liver damage, you will likely be eligible to seek financial compensation for emotional, physical and financial losses.
