Case Name
Garcia v. Iovate Health Sciences USA Inc., Case No. 1402915, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Barbara
Case Summary
The Iovate Hydroxycut class action lawsuit was initially filed in 2012 by a plaintiff who says he relied on allegedly false and misleading statements on labeling and in advertisements regarding the effectiveness of Hydroxycut products, and that such statements violate state consumer protection laws, the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act and warranties related to Hydroxycut. According to the Hydroxycut lawsuit, Iovate was unjustly enriched as a result of these allegedly false and misleading statements.
Iovate denies the allegations but agreed to settle the Hydroxycut class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and distraction of litigation.

Talked with someone on the phone. After researching for about 10 minutes the final hearing was held Jan 14th 2015 but nothing has been heard about the outcome. She said to check website for answers. I told her that I am on the website and the last court doc is August 2014. I did ask how often to they update the website and she said there are no specific times. I guess that was helpful ?
Anything yet? This is gonna go on forever
any good news
Its been awfully quiet, can’t even find any current court documents =(
When will the settlement check be sent out? Thanks for a reply.
Now that childrens hour with little Kelrok is over we can now get serious about information
The claim-online doesn’t work. Error message said: Error: The total number of Product Bundle Awards chosen in Section 3 must equal the amount of the total number of Product Bundle Awards selected in Section 2.
How do you fix this?
This Hydroxycut class action lawsuit is very confusing because they have not settled the first one .I do not know if I need to file a second claim. Will doing so cancel the first claim? Someone please answer this question. Thanks for any and all answers.

at 9:30 a.m. Fairness Hearing here is the pdf link (http://www.hcproclinicalsettlement.com/docs/stip.pdf ) of the court doc. that say it’s going to paid out to it’s claimiant based upon final judgment decision within 90 days of the “Final Hearing” which I’m guessing is this one right here. So, can someone a little more knowledgeable about court talk take a look at this and see when we might be getting our checks? Soon since it’s over a couple weeks ago or within like 80 more days? Plus, you can get more info if Googled Hydroxycut Fairness Hearing. If you can’t find the link provided then go to ( http://www.hcproclinicalsettlement.com/index ) And look under court documents to see final hearing court document and if you can read court mumbo jumbo, then please let us know the outcome….. THX!!
Brandi, please see our comment below. Nothing has been filed with the Court indicating if the settlement was approved or not. Until it is approved as final, checks will not be issued.

No, you don’t have to refile.
Yes I made a claim about a year ago and since the settlement was re approved the information that was submitted was lost I called and asked if I have a claim on file and she told me no so I refiled and now I have a claim on file.
