Get Started:
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.
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.
Following is a list of the recalled Hydroxycut-branded products:
The FDA is still uncertain of what Hydroxycut ingredient is responsible for the liver damage and other serious injuries.
In addition to liver damage, other serious Hydroxycut side effects have been reported, including:
While the listed side effects are common among diet pill use, there have been reports of more severe side effects including:
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.
