Today, grocery and drug store shelves are stacked with different types of dietary supplements. However residents of, Chicago, Illinois, should be extra careful when buying such products, especially after a dietary supplement was recalled when it was discovered that it was linked to reports of a death and cases of liver damage among consumers.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has requested the company that makes OxyElite Pro to stop distribution. Marketed for weight loss, the recall came after a link was found between the use of the supplement and instances of liver disease. This was due to the substance known as aegeline, a substance that lacks a history of use and has yet to be tested for safety.<\/p>\n

In total, the FDA has identified 56 cases nationwide. In those cases, one death, 22 hospitalizations and two liver transplants have been reported. The public can read a list of recalled OxyElite products on the FDA’s website. VERSA-1, another product from the same company, also contains aegeline and was also ordered to be recalled.<\/p>\n

As required by law, companies should always consider consumer safety before making their products available to the public. If a company fails to do so and injuries and deaths ensue, the manufacturing company may be held liable. A consumer can file a legal action citing the negative effects of a company’s products. If an investigation shows that any injury was due to negligence on the part of the company, a consumer may be entitled to compensation to help cover damages.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Chicago products liability<\/a>\u00a0legal professional’s guidance can be beneficial if a consumer plans to file a legal action. If a fatality occurs, surviving family members can file the lawsuit on behalf of the victim.<\/p>\n
