    Any retail store that sells the product must take it back with no questions asked. It is under a Federal Re-call. They will get reimbursed from the company that makes hydroxycut itself.

    Yes, it is under a federal mandatory recall. Any place that sells it can not refuse to take it back.

    I would be printing out the recall notice and taking it to the store with me. They have to take it back.

    I would be either emailing or writing a letter to corporate also.

    Just take it to Walmart or Target.

    Actually....they have to take it back since it was a federal recall. :angry:

    Did you ask to talk to a manager??

    I took mine back to GNC the day the recall came out. I did happen to have my reciept as I file all my reciepts during the year. But, he would have taken it back without the receipt.

    Quoted directly from the FDA Website..........

    I would print this out and take it to Wal-greens and promptly tell them they are violating Federal Law and that you are going to report them to the FDA.

    I would follow through on filing the report too. Don't let them get away with this.

    I have worked retail before and they have to comply, if they sold the product.
    Iovate is working with the FDA and retailers to ensure that these products are quickly and effectively removed from the market. For product refunds, consumers are directed to return their product directly to the location where it was purchased.

    OMG, they are supposed to take it off the shelves...........

    These people are idiots.

    I think I am going to go to local retail establishments and see if I see any of the same things you guys are seeing...........If I see any of this stuff, I am going to take pictures and submit it to the FDA..........

    My husband also has a box of Hydroxycut I need to take back to Wal-Mart and get his money back for him also.................

    What if you don't have the bottle? I know, it sounds silly..but I carried it around in my purse and the bottle always set off the sensor, so I put the remaining in a baggie.. BTW.. they made me very sick..

    I would try it anyway and see what happens. I don't think it would really matter. If they made you sick I think you are supposed to report to the FDA also.
