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.

I’m confused, the phone number that is listed here I am not able to get a hold of anyone to check my status. I also went to the hydroxy cut website to try and check my claim there and had no luck of finding where to out my information in. I also tried the press 1 than 4 and it got me no where. Can someone let me know ow how they are checking their status on the website or phone?
So you know, these comments are posted under this settlement, but this is a different settlement for hydroxycut…Here is a link to the one we are all referring to just in case you havent seen it…its for all hydroxycut products sold between 2006-2009
Spoke with admin today. I am receiving a check. IGO stands for In Good Order. She said this week. She thought they would be mailed tomorrow.
spoke to the claims administrator The amount of my claim is $97.56 and will be mailed this week.1 877-850-1033
I logged in to check my status. What does IGO stand for?
I hope it means IN GOOD ORDER because I have the same IGO status. Im wondering if anyones account shows their check number and amount because it looks like most comments posted here that include an amount claimed to get the amount from a letter or by calling the administrator. I dont see anyone who said they saw it on their account info on the admins website. So that gives me hope that our claims were in good order. I will post immediately if i get my check
I checked my account, what does IGO stand for?
