Source Naturals Facing Consumer Fraud Class Action Lawsuit

- by

St. Louis, MO: Source Naturals Inc is facing a consumer fraud class action lawsuit filed by a woman who alleges the amounts of vitamins and minerals in the vitamins are inaccurate.

In her complaint, Jennifer Dougherty alleges she purchased the products online for about $20 in November. According to the lawsuit, Source Naturals advertised that its multivitamins contained 12,500 IU per serving of vitamin A. Dougherty claims that the amounts of the of six vitamins and minerals in its multivitamins were off by as much as 90 percent, which was shown in tests. Those same tests also revealed that the vitamin B-3 contained in the product was about 19 percent less than represented; calcium per serving was about 22 percent less; zinc was under by about 24 percent; manganese was under by about 36 percent; and magnesium was under by about 12 percent than what Source Naturals claimed, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit is seeking class action status for those that purchased the multivitamins and seeks less than $5 million plus court costs. The $5 million figure represents a threshold for removal under the Class Action Fairness Act.

I took a pill by this company a few years ago February 13,2011 and it changed my life. I am now allergic to foods that I was able to eat all my life and it is so depressing sometimes. I am now allergic to rice, corn, peanuts, wheat, soy and every shellfish as well as cats. I did not have any of these issues before i took this pill
