Dietary supplements on the market can get away with quite a bit. Drugs must be regulated by the FDA, and even they sometimes encounter problems. Supplements, on the other hand, are entirely unregulated. This means that the products do not need to prove that they do what they claim to. It also means that they do not need to undergo safety testing.

Requirements for safety are put in place so that consumers are not injured or killed when they start taking products. Without these requirements, consumers are put at great risk. Several products in the last few years have caused major injury that may have been prevented by better testing. One of the more recent products was Hydroxycut.

If you or someone you know has been injured by Hydroxycut, contact the Hydroxycut recall attorneys of a law firm at your convenience.
