Hydroxycut Recall

On May 1, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a strong warning to consumers to immediately stop taking Hydroxycut brand weight loss products manufactured by Iovate Health Sciences, Inc.  Following the FDA warning, Iovate issued a recall of its Hydroxycut brand products in the United States.

Hydroxycut products are associated with a number of serious health problems, including liver injuries and death due to liver failure.  The FDA has documented numerous reports of serious health problems, including jaundice and elevated liver enzymes (an indicator of liver injury and damage) and liver damage requiring liver transplant.  Death has also been reported due to liver failure.

Symptoms of liver injury include jaundice, brown urine, nausea, vomiting, light-colored stools, excessive fatigue, weakness, stomach or abdominal pain, itching and loss of appetite.  GNC, a large seller of Hydroxycut products, said the company started recalling the products after it was informed of the FDA and Iovate decisions.

If you or a loved one has suffered a liver injury due to use of Hydroxycut, please call the experienced lawyers at Martin & Jones for a free, no obligation consultation and additional information about Hydroxycut.
