The Hydroxycut settlement will resolve a massive class action lawsuit, titled In Re: Hydroxycut Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation, that alleges defendants Kerr Investment Holding Corp. and Iovate Health Sciences misrepresented that certain Hydroxycut weight loss products were clinically proven to be safe and effective for weight loss.

Defendants deny the allegations but have agreed to a $25.3 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation.

Class Members of the Hydroxycut class action settlement include anyone who purchased one of the following Hydroxycut weight loss products listed below in the United States between May 9, 2006 and May 1, 2009, inclusive:
