SlimQuick Lawsuit Lawyer
If you used SlimQuick products and have been diagnosed with liver damage, liver failure, or drug-induced hepatitis, you may be entitled to compensation. A SlimQuick lawsuit lawyer at Loncar Lyon Jenkins can help you pursue compensation from the negligent manufacturer, to help cover the cost of ongoing medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
What is SlimQuick?
SlimQuick is an over-the-counter weight loss supplement designed for women that was launched in 2005. The SlimQuick product line includes:
- SlimQuick Fat Burner
- SlimQuick Ultra Fat Burner
- SlimQuick Caplets
- SlimQuick Caffeine Free Caplets
- SlimQuick Mixed Berries
- SlimQuick Razor
- SlimQuick Extreme
- SlimQuick Extra Strength
If you have difficulty maintaining a healthy weight, seek medical advice from a trusted professional. Those who take Benicar may already have a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and other serious health hazards. The dangerous blood pressure drug olmesartan medoxomil could endanger your life, so seek immediate medical attention if you’re experiencing any abnormal health issues.
It is conservatively estimated that hundreds of thousands of consumers have purchased these products, spending in excess of $100 million.
Liver Damage and SlimQuick Use
Consumers of these products have reported acute liver failure, non-alcoholic cirrhosis, drug induced hepatitis, and other health issues. If you or someone you know has experienced these health complications as a result of SlimQuick, you may be eligible to file a SlimQuick liver damage lawsuit. Contact Loncar Lyon Jenkins immediately for a free, confidential case evaluation using the form or by calling toll free at 800.285.4878.
What Makes SlimQuick Dangerous?
A major active ingredient of SlimQuick is Camellia sinensis, also known as green tea extract. Green tea extract in SlimQuick contains 45% of the phytochemical EGCG. EGCG has been linked to severe hepatotoxicity (chemical-driven liver damage). While low doses of EGCG have been proven to contain antioxidant effects, the high doses in SlimQuick have a negative, pro-oxidant effect. This is not the first case of weight-loss supplements composed of green tea extract causing liver damage.
Exolise, a weight-loss supplement marketed in France and Spain, was withdrawn from the market in 2003. Acute liver failure has also been linked to two other weight-loss supplements with green tea extract, The Right Approach and Hydroxycut. Hydroxycut was recalled from the United states in 2009 after 23 reports of liver injury were reported to the FDA.
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (Uva-ursi)
A second problematic ingredient of SlimQuick is Arctostaphylos uva-ursi commonly referred to as just Uva-ursi. Uva-Ursi in SlimQuick contains Hydroquinone, another known ingredient to cause serious liver damage. It is recommended that Uva-Ursi be taken in small doses and no more than 5 days in a row, while SlimQuick hosts a 13 week program.

SlimQuick Negligence, Design Defect, and Failure to Warn
Wellnx Life Sciences either knew or should have known that SlimQuick contains ingredients that cause liver injury. They instruct users to cease consumption if the consumer experiences jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, or nausea (symptoms of liver damage), yet failed to warn the user of potential liver damage.
This is also not the first time that Wellnx Life Sciences, manufacturer of SlimQuick, has been involved in a product liability lawsuit. In 2011 Wellnx Life Sciences agreed to settle 16 class action lawsuits involving false labeling and advertising. Wellnx therefore has a history of negligence when it comes to their products.
