Many members of the public may have been exposed to serious injury or death by the manufacturers, distributors and marketers of these diet drugs. Aggressive marketing of these highly profitable diet drugs has led consumers to believe that the use of these drugs is a safe easy way to lose weight. Many people had assumed that since these diet drugs were approved individually by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that extensive testing had been done proving these drugs to be safe before they were allowed on the market. That assumption is wrong. Very little testing had been done and the testing that was done has shown some serious and in some cases fatal side effects.

    This web site is designed to provide a concise, non-technical explanation and overview of the medical and legal issues concerning the marketing of these drugs, the health consequences to consumers, and the legal claims consumers may have against the manufacturers and distributors of these diet drugs.
