Why: The plaintiffs allege the companies falsely advertise their SlimQuick weight-loss supplements as safe and effective.
Where: The SlimQuick class action lawsuit was filed in California federal court.
Consumers claim in a new class action lawsuit that WellNX Life Sciences falsely advertise its SlimQuick weight-loss supplements as safe and effective.
Plaintiffs Maria Nelson and Michelle Garza filed the class action complaint against Platinum US Distribution, WellNX Life Sciences and WellNX Life Sciences DR on Feb. 4 in California federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws.
According to the class action lawsuit, WellNX Life Sciences manufactures, markets, distributes and sells SlimQuick weight-loss supplements, including Regular Strength, Extra Strength, Pure Keto and Drink Mix.
The plaintiffs allege the companies market SlimQuick with specific false efficacy claims, saying the product has a miraculous “fat-burning” ingredient that “increases metabolism,” “reduces appetite” and “reduces excess water.”
The companies also falsely claim that SlimQuick is “made with safe and natural ingredients” and is “not harmful,” the plaintiffs allege.
SlimQuick weight-loss supplements cause liver injury, class action alleges
The plaintiffs allege the companies’ claims are misleading because none of the ingredients in SlimQuick, individually or in combination, safely and effectively increase weight loss, calorie burning or fat oxidation.
In addition, they allege the companies’ representations that SlimQuick is “made with safe and natural ingredients” and is “not harmful to our bodies” are false, as SlimQuick contains a dangerous amount of green tea extract, which can cause liver injury and liver failure.
The plaintiffs allege the companies’ marketing and advertising of SlimQuick was intended to, and did, deceive consumers into believing that the product could effectively increase weight loss, metabolism and decrease appetite.
They allege the companies engaged in a consistent, long-term campaign to fraudulently market SlimQuick as a safe and effective weight-loss supplement.
The plaintiffs seek to represent anyone who bought SlimQuick in California. They are suing for violations of California’s Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law. They are seeking certification of the class action, damages of at least $5 million, fees, costs and a jury trial.
