Hydroxycut Recall: Where to Register for the Class Action Lawsuit

On May 1, 2009, the FDA pulled Hydroxycut from the shelves because they received 23 reports of illness linked to the product. One death has been reportedly tied to the product from a 19 year man who died of liver failure in 2007. But, the incident has been newly related to Hydroxycut in March 2009. Consumers must be aware that although symptoms may have occurred during the use of Hydroxycut, they may also appear several months afterwards, which include jaundice, brown-colored urine, nausea, vomiting, weakness and fatigue, abdominal pains and loss of appetite.

If you believe you have suffered any of these symptoms, seal up the unused portion and keep it in a safe place where no one else may use it. The manufacturer would like you to return the bottle to the place of purchase, but for legal reasons, it is best to hang on to it until you are certain that a class action lawsuit will be pursued. Illnesses sought in the suit include liver damage, liver failure, liver transplant, seizures, heart problems, kidney failure and death.

If you are experiencing lower back pains, this may be an indication of organ damage and you should see your doctor at once. Nausea that's associated with the common flu may be more serious than you think if you've taken Hydroxycut within the last few months. Every precaution must be taken to catch the symptoms in time, and when you are better, a free legal team is poised and ready to strike Hydroxycut on your behalf for their negligence.

Rebuttal from Hydroxycut begins with their consumer fact sheet on the product. The page is meant to inform the public, while defending themselves by mitigating the seriousness to a handful of cases. It's advised that you speak with your attorney before contacting a manufacturer, who may persuade you to relinquish the product to them. Remember that symptoms may not appear right away, and what seems to be a minor ache and pain could be the onset of disease.

Hydroxycut says they are conducting their own investigation as to their ingredients compared to medical, scientific and toxicological literature and handing over the findings to a third party review, to include the pharmaceutic industry. Until all research as been exhausted, Hydroxycut concurs with the FDA that all use of their branded products should be ceased. The recall product list includes the caffeine-free item, liquid capsules, all drinks and liquid shots, carb control and regular release products. According to the FDA, the two products, Hydroxy Cleanse and Hoodia, are exempt from the list and deemed safe.

The Food and Drug Administration has issued an emergency public memo describing the illnesses and side effects from the Hydoxycut product. They assure us that the manufacturer, Lovate and MuscleTech, are in compliance with the FDA handing of the matter.
