Hydroxycut Lawsuit
We are no longer accepting cases concerning Hydroxycut.
Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman is representing individuals who have consumed the recalled Hydroxycut weight loss products. Our firm has extensive experience litigating national consumer class action cases and we have already begun litigating Hydroxycut consumer fraud class action cases.
On May 1, 2009 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned consumers to immediately stop using Hydroxycut products by Iovate Health Sciences Inc., of Oakville, Ontario and distributed by Iovate Health Sciences USA Inc., of Blasdell, N.Y., as some Hydroxycut products are associated with a number of serious liver injuries. Iovate agreed to recall these Hydroxycut products from the market. On May 7, 2009 the recall list was expanded, increasing the total number of recalled Hydroxycut products to 26.
Although the FDA has not received reports of serious liver-related adverse reactions for all Hydroxycut products, Iovate has agreed to pull off the market the products listed as part of the recall. Hydroxycut Cleanse and Hoodia products are not affected by the recall.
The FDA has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products.
