Hydroxycut® Deaths

800-889-3898

Hydroxycut®, a popular weight loss supplement, has been found to cause some rare but life-threatening side effects, including:

  • cardiovascular disorders, such as heart attack or palpitations
  • epilepsy
  • liver damage
  • rhabdomyolysis (a rare condition in which muscle deterioration can lead to kidney failure).

While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already received 23 patient reports regarding serious Hydroxycut® side effects, to date, one person has died after developing Hydroxycut® liver problems.

Given the prevalence and severity of Hydroxycut® side effects, on May 1, 2009, the FDA issued a national public alert, warning consumers of Hydroxycut®'s association with severe health complications. Immediately after, Iovate Health Sciences, Inc., the manufacturer of Hydroxycut®, issued a Hydroxycut® recall of the following 14 Hydroxycut® products from U.S. markets:

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

Preventing Hydroxycut® Death

To minimize the risk of Hydroxycut® death, it's vital that Hydroxycut® users:

  • Stop using recalled Hydroxycut® dietary supplements immediately.
  • Understand the types and symptoms of life-threatening Hydroxycut® side effects.
  • Seek emergency medical attention if they start developing symptoms of severe Hydroxycut® complications.

Symptoms that may indicate a potentially fatal Hydroxycut® complication include:

  • abdominal pain
  • brown urine
  • chest pain
  • extreme weakness and fatigue
  • itchiness
  • jaundice
  • light-colored feces
  • loss of appetite
  • loss of consciousness
  • nausea and/or vomiting
  • palpitations
  • shortness of breath
  • tremors.

Following a Hydroxycut® Death

Families of deceased Hydroxycut® users should meet with an experienced Hydroxycut® lawyer for a free initial consultation. During this meeting, Hydroxycut® attorneys will:

  • Evaluate prospective plaintiff(s) claim.
  • Inform them if they are entitled to a settlement for their loss.
  • Explain the process associated with building and winning a Hydroxycut® lawsuit.
  • Advise them on whether an individual lawsuit or a class action case is more appropriate for their specific needs and unique circumstances.

By working with an experienced Hydroxycut® lawyer, plaintiffs will benefit from:

  • access to a network of experts who can verify their claims when official testimony is needed
  • professional representation in court, mediation and/or arbitration proceedings
  • delayed payment for legal services, as Hydroxycut® lawyers work on contingency to encourage injured parties to stand up for their legal rights via Hydroxycut® lawsuits.
