The Connection Between Hydroxycut and Serious Personal Injury

If you have become seriously ill while taking a dietary supplement or pharmaceutical that is known to be a potentially dangerous drug, you may be eligible to file an Illinois product liability claim to seek compensation for your injuries. A Chicago personal injury lawyer can advise you of your legal rights and assist you with filing the appropriate type of claim.

Hydroxycut is a popular weight loss supplement that has been linked to serious side effects. Produced by Iovate Health Sciences Inc., Hydroxycut has been found to cause liver damage. While some side effects of taking Hydroxycut have been mild, such as jaundice, other side effects have led to liver failure and in one case, death.

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall on a number of Hydroxycut products in May 2009 because of the risk of liver injuries, seizures, cardiovascular problems and other serious health risks.

These serious side effects mean that Hydroxycut can be considered as a potentially dangerous drug. Evidence of such serious side effects and illness may entitle you to recover damages for injuries you have received after taking it.

A Chicago personal injury lawyer can help you determine if you have a valid Illinois product liability claim related to Hydroxycut and will assist you with the process of filing your claim.
