Hydroxycut recalled after consumer dies.

In a new story that is hitting the streets, the FDA issued a warning on the product Hydroxycut, after their tests showed that it was dangerous for consumption. Hydroxycut, a dietary supplement that has been linked to severe liver damage and has led to at least one death.

The FDa never approved Hydroxycut to begin with, but had to step in after the reported death as well as about 23 reports of liver damage, liver failure, cardiovascular issues, seizures, and jaundice.

Back here in South Africa the same product are readily available, and by googling “hydroxycut” I could probably have it delivered to my doorstep just before lunch tomorrow.

Muscletech seems to be one of the main distributors of this product and clicking on the products section in their US website, you get taken to a website explaining the reason for the recall is that the manufacturer agreed to a voluntary recall of its products is “out of an abundance of caution and because consumer safety is Iovate’s top priority.”

Seems to be no abundance of caution here in South Africa as muscletech’s website will sell hydroxycut by the bucketload.

Let’s see what happens.
