Marketers Of "Supreme Greens" And "Coral Calcium" Dietary Supplements Found Guilty Of Deceiving Consumers

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has ordered the marketers of the dietary supplements Supreme Greens and Coral Calcium to pay nearly $70 million dollars in consumer refunds as a result of deceiving consumers about the safety and effectiveness of their products.

 

The marketers of these products claimed that they were effective in treating a range of ailments including cancer, Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, autoimmune diseases and obesity.  They also claimed the supplements were safe for children, pregnant women and people taking medications.  A federal district court found these safety and effectiveness claims to be deceptive.

 

If you are a consumer who has purchased and/or been injured by either or both of these products, please contact us to discuss your legal options.

I have been purchasing coral calcium for quite a while for osteopenia. Even my doctor thought it was acceptable.
