Hydroxycut Class Action Lawsuit To Be Settled
The proposed settlement would provide compensation of $25 per purchase for consumers who bought Hydroxycut between May 9, 2006 and May 1, 2009.
As reported by ConsumerLab.com, Iovate recalled Hydroxycut products in 2009 after the FDA warned the weight loss supplement had been associated with liver damage, seizures, cardiovascular disorders and rhabdomyolysis. Hydroxycut was reformulated and placed back on the market.
Iovate settled another class action suit over charges of falsely advertising other weight loss, cold and allergy supplements in 2010.
