Class Certified!

The judge certified the Kimkins class for the lawsuit. (Again, thanks to the bankruptcy stall tactic.)

The next big court date is June 8. Not long to wait this time!

Thanks, John! You do such great work!

Today is a big Kimkins court day!

Today is the day the judge will evaluate the certification of the class again. It was certified earlier in the year but voided (that may not be the right term) by Heidi's attempt to declare bankruptcy. The bankruptcy was rejected, so we're headed back to court.

The evidence is all on our side, and John is ten times the attorney Peabody is, but it couldn't hurt to keep your fingers crossed!

Hydroxycut Recall

First, here is a recall notification:

Hydroxycut Diet Pill Recalled

FDA issues recall after reports of liver damage, other health problems

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON - U.S. government health officials are announcing the recall of a popular weight loss pill, after reports of liver damage and other health problems.

Food and Drug Administration officials said Friday the manufacturer of Hydroxycut has launched a recall of the dietary supplement, used by people trying to shed pound, and by body builders to sharpen their muscles.

Hydroxycut is adverstised as being made from natural ingredients. It accounts for about 90 percent of the market for weight loss supplements, with sales of about 1 million bottles a year.

Dietary supplements are not as tightly regulated by the government as medications. Manufacturers do not need FDA approval ahead of time before marketing their products.

Here is the FDA Hydroxycut warning,

I did some browsing and apparently some people are experiencing Hydroxycut withdrawal side effects. It might be a good idea to talk to your doctor about the best thing to do if you've been taking this product.

Are these people being sued yet?
