New York Hydroxycut Recall Attorneys

On May 1, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration issued a recall of 14 products marketed under the brand name Hydroxycut. This was alarming news, as Hydroxycut is the most popular dietary supplement in the United States, selling millions of products every year. It has been advertised as an all natural and safe way to lose weight or tone muscle. Unfortunately, it has also been shown to be extremely dangerous.

If you or a loved one has been hurt by Hydroxycut side effects, it is not your fault. Companies have a very important duty to ensure that the items they sell to people are fit for consumption. Those who fail to meet this duty must be held accountable for the harm they cause. For more information, call the New York Hydroxycut recall lawyers of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.
