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.

People are posting to the wrong Hydroxycut Settlement. I got a check yesterday for $97.57 too, from the other Hydroxycut Diet Supplement Settlement. This one is the Pro Clinical Settlement, which is yet to be paid out.
I called the preclinical admin. today to check my claim status,i was told that this hydroxycut settlement did not get approval of the court,this settlement was dismissed,have anyone else that talked with someone recently to know of this to be true?
U should have your check by now. Mine came on July 15.
I hope so, I got the same response when I called. I send the claim form and receipts so it would be odd if I wasn’t approved.
