Supplement Lawsuits Are Getting Out of Hand

Listen, I’m all about protecting the consumer, but some people these days are simply out for money (or they seriously don’t have any common sense). Supplement lawsuits have been popping up throughout the industry for the past few years like wildfires. You have the legit supplement lawsuits such as amino-spiking and companies tainting their products with designer steroids. But then you have ones like we are about to touch on that make me shake my head and wonder what type of person these people are.

I didn’t know what was in the tub

Brands in the industry have been part of a supplement lawsuits where consumers feel they are being deceived when they open up a tub of protein only to find half of the container is full of powder. Anyone who made it through elementary school should know how to read. On the tub, it clearly states what the contents are. For instance, it will state the brand name, the flavor, and the SIZE. For instance, a 5lb tub of protein (regardless of the brand and flavor) is still 5lbs of protein. So, whether they use a small tub or a large tub, you’re getting the same amount! How is that deceiving? Now they are trying to force supplement companies to change to transparent (it can still be colored but you must be able to see the contents) tubs so that consumers can see how much is in it before purchasing. Are you kidding me?

Let’s think about this for a minute. If you go to the grocery store and buy a bag of a dozen apples, do you go home and freak out because the entire bag wasn’t full of apples? No, you knew when you bought it that there were only going to be 12 apples in the bag. So, why is this any different. Either you’re dumb and can’t read, or you’re fishing for a lawsuit as some money hungry consumer with an attorney who’s equally out to make a quick buck. If you are used to purchasing a 5lb tub from one brand, and you switch over to a 5lb tub from a different brand, YOU’RE STILL GETTING 5LB OF PRODUCT! My head hurts. Let’s move on.



I took too much, but that’s your fault, not mine — Supplement Lawsuits

There have also been lawsuits where some consumers did not follow the directions on a product (such as a fat burner) and had health complications. Maybe it was a rapid heartbeat that sent them to the hospital, maybe it was something more serious with their health, who knows? There are many things that can possibly go wrong when you take too much of a fat burner. That’s why there are directions on the label that advise you on how to take the product along with warnings. No one is telling you to take these products. And no one is telling you to take more than directed. That’s on you, buttercup. So why are you suing someone because you can’t read and follow directions? You’re probably the same person taking a fat burner and doesn’t work out or change their nutrition. You simply think the pills in that particular bottle are going to melt off the fat like Kim Kardashian’s makeup when she starts to sweat.
