Phillips Colon Health Probiotic Supplement Class Action Lawsuit

By Sarah Pierce

 

Phillips Priobiotic Colon HealthThe consumer class action lawsuits concerning deceptive priobiotic health claims just keep piling up. This time, however, its not yogurt at the center of the deceptive claims — it’s the Bayer supplement Phillips Probiotic Colon Health.

 

Bayer HealthCare is accused in the class action lawsuit of making false and deceptive advertising claims regarding the benefits of Phillips Probiotic Colon Health supplements. Bayer claims in its advertising that these supplements help support consumers’ health in ways that other products cannot because Bayer’s supplements contain a combination of strains of “probiotic” bacteria that are unique to its products.

 

According to the Bayer probiotic supplement class action lawsuit, however, Bayer “fails to support this advertising message. Several studies examining the health benefits of probiotics at the concentrations in the products flatly contradict Bayer’s claims. It is not proven that Bayer’s strains of probiotic bacteria deliver the unique health benefits claimed in its advertising campaign. Nonetheless, as a result of Bayer’s deceptive advertising campaign, Bayer is able to charge a premium for its Products.”

 

The Phillips Probiotic Colon Health class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of anyone who purchased Phillips Colon Health supplement, Caps or Probiotics + Fiber in the United States. It is seeking class certification, damages, restitution and other relief for violations of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act and Unfair Competition Law.
