Iovate Health Services Sciences USA Inc. has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it made false and misleading statements regarding the effectiveness of its Hydroxycut dietary supplements.
If you purchased a Hydroxycut supplement product between May 2, 2009 and Feb. 15, 2017, you may be entitled to a cash payment from the Hydroxycut class action settlement.
Plaintiff Daniel Garcia filed the Iovate class action lawsuit in July 2012, alleging that he relied on false and misleading statements in advertisements and on the product label for Hydroxycut dietary supplements.
According to the Hydroxycut class action lawsuit, these allegedly false and misleading statements violate consumer protection laws, including California’s False Advertising Laws, Unfair Competition Laws, Consumer Legal Remedies Act, and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Iovate denies the allegations but agreed to settle the Hydroxycut class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and risk of continued litigation.
Under the terms of the proposed Hydroxycut class action settlement, Iovate has agreed to make available a Claim Fund of $8 million to pay the valid claims submitted by eligible Class Members.
In addition to offering refunds to consumers who have purchased the Hydroxycut supplements, Iovate has also agreed to modify the labels of its Hydroxycut products to remove certain statements and provide additional disclosures to consumers.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the Hydroxycut class action settlement is May 30, 2017.
UPDATE: On Dec. 11, 2017, Top Class Actions viewers started receiving checks in the mail from the Hydroxycut class action settlement resolving claims that the company falsely marketed its dietary supplements.

Common sense you guys! It says the letter is due on 12/22 means you gotta wait for the check to arrive after the 22nd of december! It might take a while because they have to go through those letters and audit for the checks! You guys are not being robbed! I sent mine back in november and still hasnt have any, its gonna come you just gotta wait.
send my letter back 2 weeks ago or more, no check here in texas.
Still no check in Kansas. These thieves are robbing a lot of us. Their cheap recording says they will respond, but they don’t. Just like ilym group and the fluoride settlement, they only pay out to a third of the eligible claims.
They sent me some mail a few weeks or so and I sent it back to them verifying the statements were true probably about 2 weeks ago maybe longer. I’m in MD and haven’t received my check yet… Did anyone else get that paper in the mail and need to send it back? If so, how long until you got your check- if you have gotten it. Thanks!!
Elyssia, FYI – I got the letter also, sent it back promptly. 12/19 no check. Am in the Midwest.
i sent mine back weeks ago , but never got anything still.
I received my check for $ 28.00 on the 16th. I live in Colorado.
I have not received a check as yet
28 n TN 12/15
28.00 in NC
Received $28 today in Louisiana.

Susie what state are you in? I’m in GA and haven’t received anything yet either. I returned the email request for additional information a couple weeks.
