LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) – Terry Naturally is accused of not providing the pain relief it promises.
A proposed class action lawsuit filed Oct. 21 in Los Angeles federal court takes aim at the company’s Curamin line of pain-relief products that contain curcumin.
“Studies of curcumin have consistently shown that after using dietary supplementation of curcumin for extended periods, ranging from weeks to months, may help to reduce inflammation; but have not consistently shown that the same extended dietary supplementation results in reduced muscle soreness associated with exercise,” says the lawsuit, filed by lawyer Todd Friedman.
“Defendant’s products do not disclose that curcumin has not been proven to relieve pain a consumer is currently experiencing. Plaintiff would not have been able to understand that the products do not relieve pain prior to consuming them.”
Friedman is seeking certification of a class, actual damages and punitive damages.
