A class action lawsuit has been filed in federal court in California on behalf of individuals who used Hydroxycut products that were recalled by the FDA on May 1. The recall encouraged consumers to discontinue use of at least 14 different versions of Hydroxycut due to its adverse effects on the body, including liver damage, seizures, heart problems, blood toxicity and various other conditions, including a rare form of muscle damage known as rhabdomyolysis. Effects of Hydroxycut, which accounts for 90% in sales of weight loss products, are not only severe, but have already resulted in one fatality.

The lawsuit is the second Hydroxycut class action suit filed in the U.S. The claim alleges that the makers, Iovate, made fraudulent, false and misleading statements, violated trade practice laws and profited off of the sale of a product about which they made unsupported claims of its safety and effectiveness. If you or a loved one has used Hydroxycut, you may be entitled to file a Hydroxycut lawsuit. For more information contact us.
