Hydroxycut Warning

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a Hydroxycut warning, May 1, 2009, advising dieters and bodybuilders who use Hydroxycut-branded products to discontinue use immediately. The Hydroxycut warning was based on 23 reports of liver damage and one death among Hydroxycut users.

Government health officials warned American consumers of the potential heath risks associated with Hydroxycut, noting that the injured users were healthy before taking the weight loss supplements.

FDA Warning Leads to Hydroxycut Recall

Shortly after the FDA issued the Hydroxycut warning, the makers of the dietary supplements voluntarily recalled 14 of its products, noting that safety is their number one concern. Although the number of reported Hydroxycut injuries seem rather low compared to the millions of people who have used the products for weight loss, the FDA said consumers should not be exposed to the risks.

The Hydroxycut recall includes the following 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

Just a few days after the initial Hydroxycut recall, Iovate Health Sciences, USA, Inc. of Blasdell, New York and Ontario, Canada (the maker of the Hydroxycut products) announced that they were adding Universal Product Codes (UPCs) to the recall. According to the FDA, the additions also included additional sizes and packages of the products listed in the initial recall. The added UPC numbers include:
