Class Action Lawsuit Claims Dual-Action Cleanse Products Are Ineffective and HarmfulBy Sarah Pierce A potential class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of more than 200,000 Americans who have purchased Irwin Naturals and Ultimate Nutraceuticals brand Dual-Action Cleanse, Total Body Purifier, and/or Colon Cleanse Formula. The class action lawsuit alleges these colon-cleansing products are “grossly overpriced, misrepresented, ineffective and sometimes harmful.” It also alleges the companies’ founder engages in a “scheme” to charge customers for unordered merchandise without authorization. According to the class action lawsuit documents, the founder of Irwin Naturals and Ultimate Nutraceuticals “has made many millions of dollars by defrauding and damaging customers” by selling “harmful merchandise at incredible prices” and then sending “more unordered and unwanted merchandise” in order to “charge customers’ credit or debit cards without authorization.” It also claims James Chappell, who acts as the consultant and spokesman for the products, misleads consumers by advertising himself as a board certified chiropractor and Naturopathic Physician, despite having his chiropractic license cancelled in 1998 and having no online record of him with the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. If the class action lawsuit is approved, class members will include anyone who purchased Dual-Action Cleanse, Total Body Purifier or Colon Cleanse Formula, and/or had their debit or credit cards charged without authorization by the defendants for merchandise they didn’t purchase.

Class Action Settlement Pays to Replace Cracked Windshields in Scion xBs By Sarah Pierce If you’ve ever owned or leased a 2006 Scion xB, you may be able to claim money or a free repair from a proposed class action settlement. If approved, the class action settlement will settle allegations that the windshields of 2006 model-year Toyota Scion xBs have one or more defects that make their windshields prone to cracking and that these windshields were improperly excluded under warranty coverage. According to the class action settlement notice, class members have six years or 60,000 miles from the date of the original retail sale or lease of the vehicle (whichever occurs first) to claim one of the following benefits from the class action settlement: (1) Reimbursement -- If you paid to repair or replace a cracked Genuine Toyota windshield before the effective date of the settlement, you will be reimbursed for one such repair or replacement. (2) Extended Warranty -- If you need to replace or repair a cracked Genuine Toyota windshield after the effective date of the settlement, Toyota will replace the windshield one time at no cost to you through an authorized Toyota dealer, provided you have not already sought reimbursement under this settlement. Windshields covered under this settlement will only be covered if they haven’t been cracked by something that would normally cause a windshield to crack (e.g., a collision, natural disaster, vandalism, etc.). The effective date of the settlement is expected to be August 24, 2010 but may change, depending on the courts. Claim forms must be postmarked no later than September 23, 2010, which is also subject to change. For more information and to keep tabs on the exact dates for effectiveness and claim forms, see www.xbwindshieldsettlement.com.
