Makers of Hydroxycut branded products, Iovate Health Sciences, issued a voluntary Hydroxycut recall following reports of serious injuries and one death linked to the dietary supplements.

Hydroxycut Recall Follows an FDA Warning

The Hydroxycut recall followed an advisory issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), May 1, 2009. Reports of Hydroxycut liver damage and other serious side effects sparked the FDA’s warning that advised all Hydroxycut users to discontinue use. According to the agency, the first Hydroxycut injury was reported in 2002.

Since then, there have been 23 reports of liver damage among users of the dietary supplements and one death. The death, although occurred in 2007, was reported to the FDA in March 2009.

What Hydroxycut Products Were Recalled?

Following is a list of the recalled Hydroxycut-branded products:

• Hydroxycut 24
• Hydroxycut Carb Control
• Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Drink Packets
• Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Rapid Release Caplets
• Hydroxycut Hardcore Drink Packets (Ignition Stix)
• Hydroxycut Hardcore Liquid Capsules
• Hydroxycut Hardcore RTDs (Ready-to-Drink)
• Hydroxycut Liquid Shots
• Hydroxycut Max Aqua Shed
• Hydroxycut Max Drink Packets
• Hydroxycut Max Liquid Capsules
• Hydroxycut Natural
• Hydroxycut Regular Drink Packets
• Hydroxycut Regular Rapid Release Caplets

The FDA is still uncertain of what Hydroxycut ingredient is responsible for the liver damage and other serious injuries.

Hydroxycut Side Effects

In addition to liver damage, other serious Hydroxycut side effects have been reported, including:

• Increased blood pressure
• Increased heart rate
• Excessive sweating
• Headaches, dizziness
• Restlessness, jitters
• Loss of appetite

While the listed side effects are common among diet pill use, there have been reports of more severe side effects including:

• Cardiac problems
• Seizures
• Liver damage
• Rhabdomyolysis, a type of muscle damage that can lead to kidney damage

What to do After Experiencing Hydroxycut Side Effects?

If left untreated, any of the listed side effects can be damaging. It is, therefore, imperative for Hydroxycut users to report any side effects to their doctors immediately. After their health is stabilized, an injured individual should seek legal assistance to determine whether they are eligible to file a claim against Iovate.
