Nutritional Supplements Are a Highly Unregulated Industry and Often Times Lead To Catastrophic Consequences Including Death
The holiday season is over and many of our readers have flocked to the gym and are quick to purchase nutrition supplements, bodybuilding products or over-the-counter weight loss products. In the year 2008, Americans spent $2.7 billion dollars on nutritional supplements, weight loss products, energy bars and muscle mass supplements that make many unsubstantiated promises. The majority of these products go untested by the Food and Drug Administration. Unfortunately there is little or no uniformity or regulation among these products and many times we learn of catastrophic or fatal consequences when it is too late.
As an experienced Pennsylvania product liability attorney who has dealt with some catastrophic side effects of these supplements, I join many doctors and legislatures calling for increased regulation of the fitness supplements.
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury or fatality as a result of using a fitness supplement or any other medication, please feel free to contact one of our experienced Pennsylvania product liability lawyers for a free no obligation consultation.
