TrimSpa, Anna Nicole Being Sued
OK, now I’m not so sure that I agree with this type of lawsuit, but a woman is filing suit against the infamous diet supplement that has made headlines allover the place, mostly for having Anna Nicole as a figurehead in their advertisements. This woman is saying that Anna Nicole and TrimSpa mislead consumers into thinking they can lose large amounts of weight by taking this supplement, I’m assuming because it was alluded to that Anna Nicole lost about half of herself while on the popular supplement, which includes a little bit of hoodia gordonii, known for appetite suppression.
TrimSpa has indicated that they do not believe that advertisements previously aired were misleading or contained unsubstantiated or backed claims, or that their product does not help in the weight loss support process. I hate to say it, but I usually side with the weight loss products when suits like this are filed.
The thing is, no weight loss product or health and fitness product which helps with fat loss, on its own, is going to make a person lose weight, but yes, they certainly can help a person to feel satisfied earlier. I agree that outrageous and cleary over the top claims should not be allowed to be made, but let’s not turn this in to a highly regulated industry.
People actually benefit more pricewise when the government keeps it’s long arms out of regulating products like this unless there are exaggerated and obvious over-claims. This seems to me like almost a somewhat unsubstantiated lawsuit. But that’s just my opinion.
