TrimSpa Class Action Suit
The celebrity news people have followed the drawn out legal proceedings in the cases that have been brought against the diet company TrimSpa for one reason. Their celebrity endorser was Anna Nicole Smith.
Starting back in February, TMZ.com and others were covering the story. The most basic way to describe the plaintiffs case is that they were given false hope as a result of claims made by TrimSpa and Anna Nicole Smith. I found a source pointing out that the suit came after TrimSpa was made to pay fines to the FTC.
Speculation by the media at the beginning was that Janet Luna would most likely lose her case. There are six pages of comments on the TMZ article. Several of the comments were made after the death of Anna Nicole Smith.
The death of Anna Nicole Smith did not change the facts of the case. Other people came forward with legal action.
There is now an opportunity for anyone who purchase TrimSpa X32 between Apr. 1, 2003 and Oct. 31, 2006 to make a claim and receive a package deal of cash, products and coupons.
I think the lawyers will be quite happy with this. I am reasonably sure that they are not being paid in diet pills. TrimSpa itself can probably weather this out. The actual cash award is only $1 per bottle. The retail value of the products is signifcantly more than that. I can only assume that a very large proportion of potential claimants won’t bother filling out the form.
