I hadn't really used it that long and didn't know about the recall until the commerical on T. V. did they recall all the products made by hydroxycut or just the ones listed on the website.
IT'S BACK ON THE SHELF..BOUGHT IT A WALMART LAST NIGHT!!
"I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!" and want it BACK on the MARKET. If you drink lots of water you will be ok
Marisol, you may feel beautiful but you are a disgusting human being. This product is causing deaths but you think it's a shame it's being recalled. Maybe if you'd push yourself away from the dinner table more often you wouldn't be a fat pig. Maybe you'll get liver damage and lose a lot more weight! Wonder how you'd feel then?
I had fabulous results with these pills, lost 20 pounds in 6 months, got lazy, back to my old ways and get it back just as fast...so off I ventured in supermarkets and other stores where I used to purchase them but to no avail. I thought they were out of stock or something so went back every week. I remember how I went to almost every supermarket/medicine store searching for them... I was so ignorant and actually found out late that they got recalled... PLS BRING EM BACK!
Uum, what about Hoodia form the makers of Hydroxycut? Is that still Hydroxycut? Or something completely different made by Hydroxycut?
used it and lost 32lbs in 5 1/2 weeks, when will it be back on the shelf?
I believe that 23 cases in the over 70 millions people that have taken the product are small enough to put my mind at ease. I also believe that if you stay at the RECOMMENDED dosage, that you will be okay. People were probably taking more than they should have.
All that I can say is, "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!" and want it BACK on the MARKET.
I have had no adverse reactions, I have used ths product properly and with my diet and excercize have lost 20 pounds.. I am disapointed I cannot continue to use this product.
in my case olmost die really i cant explain how i fell .... and just drink instant drink packets but igree is good hidroxycut.
i was six weeks into my first diet ever,i was / am not feeling good at all!
my stomache hurt,as well as swelled. my urine was bloody, my headache was overwelming,i ran a fever,at first i thought maybe thats what a diet is supposed to feel,after two to three weeks of misc.symptoms,and my hands and fingers split open my mood was very cranky, my energy level was zero i realized something was not right
i am 46 years old and i am worried i am madd as well.

hey this isnt really a comment but i was just wondering what happens if you take it long enough to lose the weight you want but then stop taking it? what happens?
If you have been or are currently using Hydroxycut supplements to diet or get in shape, you should know it's been recalled and is apparently very dangerous. This site has a lot of good information on its problems:

I took it on and off for 3 months lost 10 pounds and im fine kind of scared about finishing my second botttle im almost done with it!!But i was only taking 1 pill a day because i got very jittery!
It would be a shame if the findings prove to be true that this product does harm. Personally I have taken Hydroxycut for about a month now and have been losing weight since. I plan to finish the use of what I have left and will have to find a substitute. Oh well.
when used as directed his product helps with increased energy,which helps with weight loss. I've used it for years with great results everytime
Tells us to return the bottle of pills to point of purchase.
