The FDA has received reports of liver injury associated with the use of certain Hydroxycut products manufactured by Iovate Health Sciences Inc., of Oakville, Ontario and distributed by Iovate Health Sciences USA Inc. of Blasdell, New York. Liver injuries have included jaundice and elevated liver enzymes, an indicator of potential liver injury, to liver damage requiring liver transplant. One death due to liver failure has been reported to the FDA.

Compensation for Hydroxycut liver failure and other liver damage may include the following:

• Medical expenses
• Cost of care
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Disability
  

When applicable, there may be recovery for past and future expenses, losses and pain and suffering. In addition to physical pain, “pain and suffering” can include emotional distress, suffering and embarrassment. Our attorneys will fight to get you the compensation you deserve. We also feel strongly that large recoveries from manufacturers send a message that companies need to put consumer safety first.
