Case Information

Lemberg Law represents a putative class of supplement purchasers in a lawsuit against BulkSupplements.com, alleging the company falsely labels its Magnesium Glycinate Powder dietary supplements. The lawsuit asserts that the product does not contain the advertised 400 mg of magnesium as magnesium glycinate per serving, violating both federal and state laws.
Complaint
The plaintiff claims that BulkSupplements.com falsely represents the magnesium content in its dietary supplements. Key allegations include:
- Mathematical Impossibility:
- Each serving of the supplement is advertised as 2,200 mg of powder containing 400 mg of magnesium as magnesium glycinate.
- Magnesium glycinate contains only 14.1% magnesium by weight, requiring approximately 2,830 mg of powder to achieve 400 mg of magnesium. This exceeds the stated serving size.
- Material Misrepresentation:
- The actual magnesium content per serving is significantly less than 400 mg, undermining the product’s advertised benefits, such as muscle relaxation, stress relief, and bone health.
- Potentially Inferior Ingredients:
- The supplement may include magnesium from sources other than magnesium glycinate, such as magnesium oxide, which is less bioavailable and less desirable to consumers.
- Violations of Labeling Regulations:
- The product’s labeling is alleged to violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) and California’s Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law by providing false and misleading information.
Relief Sought
The lawsuit seeks:
- Refunds for purchasers of the misrepresented products.
- Restitution and disgorgement of profits gained through deceptive practices.
- Injunctive relief to prohibit further mislabeling of the product.
- Punitive damages and attorney’s fees.
