A wrongful death lawsuit has been settled following an Illinois woman's death from liver failure in 2004. Pamela Hoppe sought help from LA weight loss in 2004 and was given supplements that were not regulated or tested by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). She was diagnosed with liver failure caused by the supplements and died on August 29, 2004, about four months after beginning treatment at LA Weight Loss.
The FDA supervises the safety of food and drugs, including supplements and diet pills. However, dietary supplements are not regulated until after they have reached the market. Manufacturers are responsible for making sure their products are safe before putting them on the market. If products safe found to be harmful, the FDA may take action. Consumers injured by dangerous products may be entitled to compensation in a product liability claim.
