Because of the potential health risks posed by Hydorxycut, there has been some concern about why the FDA did not exercise over the product sooner, or why the recall did not occur until after someone had already died as a result of the product. Because of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), the FDA considers all dietary supplements as food rather than as drugs in terms of regulation. While the FDA has considerable more control over drugs, it must have proof of complaints before it can take similar actions against food items or supplements.
