Our lawyers are currently reviewing claims daily from people who have taken Hydroxycut and have suffered side effects. Compensation might become available for these victims. If you or someone you know has taken Hydroxycut, fill out our simple form for a free case review. The FDA has recently released a warning urging all consumers to stop the use of Hydroxycut and related products. The makers of Hydroxycut subsuequently pulled their products off the market.
According to the FDA's release statement released in May of 2009, there have been 23 reports of health problems, ranging from jaundice and elevated liver enzymes, to liver damage requiring a liver transplant. The one death that occurred was caused by liver failure. Approximately 9 million people have used various Hydroxycut products, and reports suggest that liver damage not only surfaces while the diet pills are being taken, but could continue to occur for months after it is stopped.Symptoms of liver failure can include jaundice, nausea, vomiting, excessive fatigue, weakness, abdominal pain and loss of appetite. The other health problems reported included seizures, cardiovascular disorders, kidney failure and muscle damage. - Liver Damage
- Jaundice
- Elevated Liver Enzymes
- Liver Failure

- Rhabdomyolysis
- Death
- Yellowing of the Skin or Whites of the Eyes
- Brown Urine or Light Colored Stools

Since the manufacturers did not provide adequate warning about the side effects of using their drugs, compensation might be available to those who have used Hydroxycut and have been diagnosed with any number of liver conditions.
If you, a family member, or friend has had any problems consistent with liver damage and have taken Hydroxycut, you should contact a physician immediately.
