Federal drug regulators warned consumers Friday to stop using the Hydroxycut line of popular weight-loss products, citing reports of a death due to liver failure and other instances of serious health problems.

In all, the Food and Drug Administration said it had received 23 reports of significant adverse health effects in people who used Hydroxycut, including one person who required a liver transplant. Other complications included heart problems and a kind of muscle damage that could lead to kidney failure, the agency said.

The Hydroxycut brand, which had been widely sold at national chain stores including GNC and the Vitamin Shoppe, includes pills, drinks and powders marketed to boost energy, burn calories and fat, and control appetite. The maker reported selling more than nine million units of the brand last year, according to the F.D.A.

That company, Iovate Health Sciences of Oakville, Ontario, and its American distributor, are voluntarily recalling 14 of the products. Two other products, Hydroxycut Cleanse and Hoodia, with different ingredients are not affected by the recall. Calls to the company抯 Canadian headquarters reached a recorded message that directed callers to the Hydroxycut Web site.

The recall of one of the most well-known weight-loss brands is the latest in a series of incidents that raise the question of whether the Food and Drug Administration has adequate authority to regulate the dietary supplement industry and provide consumer protection.

At issue is the difference in the way the agency oversees drugs
