We see a range of issues around supplements, but primarily lawsuits in this area fall into two categories: Supplements sold with misleading marketing or labels, and supplements sold with illegal ingredients.

The growth of the supplement industry has created modern-day snake oil salesmen, who are selling remedies with bold claims that have no basis in science, no evidence to support them, and in violation of federal and state consumer protection laws. As a consumer, you have a right to sue any supplement or drug maker that has deceived you with false claims, and receive compensation for your loss. Common false claims include language such as “Prevents X Condition”, “Cures X Illness”, “Lose Weight Instantly”, and more. If you believe a supplement you purchased was sold to you using false or misleading claims, we would be happy to consult with you at no cost. A judge could award you up to $5,000 for your participation in a class action lawsuit against the unscrupulous marketers who sold you the supplement.

Typical false claims include statements such as

“Proven Effective”
“Prevent Panic Attacks”
“Proven To Be Very Effective For Weight Loss”
“A More Natural Way To Cure Diabetes”
“Cures Post Traumatic Stress Disorders”
“Immediate Panic and Anxiety Relief System”
“No Side Effects”
“Reduces Blood Sugar Levels”
“Longer, Harder, Better”
“Reduce Wrinkles!”

Here are some good ways to determine whether a supplement is being advertised deceptively:

1. Does it promise to cure a disease or ailment?
Dietary supplements cannot legally claim to cure or treat a disease or symptom; only drugs approved by the FDA can. If you purchased a dietary supplement that promised to cure something, you most likely have a case

2. Does it have evidence to back up its claims?
If a supplement is claiming to have an effect without any kind of evidence such as a clinical trial to back that up, it is being marketed deceptively and you may have a case.
