Hydroxycut Legal Help
HYDROXYCUT LIVER AND KIDNEY INJURY ATTORNEYS
At the Onder Law Firm, we regularly handle cases throughout the country and stand ready and willing to consult with you not only regarding the particulars of your situation, but as to the applicable time within which a claim must be brought.
Are there any up-front charges to speak with an attorney?
No. The professionals at the Onder Law Firm stand ready to consult with you regarding the particulars of your situation free of charge. If you choose to retain the Onder Law Firm, we work strictly on a contingent fee basis. There are no up-front expenses on the part of the client, and we charge a fee if and only we recover. If we decide not to pursue your claim, or if we are unsuccessful in pursuing your claim, you will owe us nothing.
If I call, will I get to speak to an actual attorney?
Yes. At the Onder Law Firm, all case evaluations are made by attorneys, not call screeners. A member of our staff may take down your preliminary information if an attorney is not immediately available to take your call, but you can rest assured that an attorney will call you back by the end of the business day. At the Onder Law Firm, you will work with attorneys and medical professionals, not telemarketers or call screeners.
Are there time limits that I should know about?
Yes. There are statute of limitations applicable to any claim you may have. The statute of limitations sets the time period within which a lawsuit must be filed. The length of the statute of limitation period depends on the type of claim we make on your behalf, and varies from state to state. If your lawsuit is not filed within the applicable statute of limitations period, it may be barred. Therefore, it is important that you speak with attorney as soon as possible so as to not risk your claim being time barred.
How long has the manufacturer of Hydroxycut known about these problems?
Reports of individuals being harmed by the dangerous chemicals in Hydroxycut date back to at least 2005. The medical literature reveals some Aeye-opening@ research regarding the injuries caused by Hydroxycut. For instance, there is a report of a 27 year old man and a 30 year old man who went to an emergency room complaining of eight days= worth of fatigue, jaundice, fever, and vomiting. These people were previously healthy, had not been out of the country, were not around other sick individuals, and had no risk factors for liver disease. Except for Hydroxycut, they had not recently taken any herbal or prescription medications.
The doctors with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation determined Hydroxycut ingestion caused the liver damage. The doctors concluded that the evidence for the usefulness of Garcinia Cambogia, one of the ingredients in Hydroxycut, in promoting weight loss was not compelling and urged caution in use of Hydroxycut. This was in 2005, yet Hydroxycut is only now (in May 2009) being recalled and pulled from the market.
This probably comes as a surprise to many people that injuries were being caused by Hydroxycut as many as four years ago. It is appalling that these results weren't made public; people could have been saved from liver or kidney damage. The most disturbing problem is that Hydroxycut didn't warn its customers about the possibility of injuries resulting from the use of its product. Instead, it continued to tell customers to APut their Trust in Hydroxycut@ because of its Afine quality ingredients. Ingredients that cause liver and kidney damage don't sound like Afine quality@ to us!
At the Onder Law Firm, we stand committed to righting the wrongs caused by such false representations by the manufacturer of Hydroxycut. We welcome the opportunity to review the particulars of your claim in an attempt to seek adequate compensation for the wrong that has been done to you.
