SAFETY alert
HYDROXYCUT RECALL
IF YOU ARE USING HYDROXYCUT, STOP DOING SO IMMEDIATELY.
On 1 May 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) published a consumer warning
advising consumers to immediately stop using
Hydroxycut products. These products have been
linked to at least 23 cases of serious liver injuries,
including damage requiring liver transplant
and one confirmed death.
If you have used Hydroxycut, the early signs
of liver injury include loss of appetite, nausea,
fatigue or weakness. Symptoms can progress to
vomiting, brown urine, light-colored stools, and/or
yellowing of the skin or whites of eyes (jaundice).
Other problems associated with Hydroxycut
products include seizures, heart problems, and
muscle damage. The symptoms can occur at any
dose and at any time.
Products with similar ingredients may also
pose a risk of causing harmful health effects and
should be avoided.
If you have any symptoms that could be associated
with these or other dietary supplements, consult
a physician or other health care professional.
Report all adverse effects you’ve experienced to
the FDA by going to https://www.accessdata.fda.
gov/scripts/medwatch/medwatch-online.htm and
send an email to supplements@usuhs.edu.
