Deceptive Product Labeling Claims

Supplement and Food Product Fraud

We have many options to purchase food products and supplements which are marketed and labeled as having certain prized ingredients or attributes, such as Manuka Honey. While advances in technology and commerce have allowed consumers to have the ability to purchase a wide variety of healthful products and supplements with just the click of a mouse. But with these advances in commerce, we still face the swan song of the “snake oil salesmen” now garbed in the robes of established companies. Our experienced Chicago consumer fraud lawyers bring class action and individual consumer fraud cases against sellers and manufacturers who falsely advertise their products as having ingredients and attributes that do not in fact exist.

Types False Labelling

The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) describes “healthcare fraud scams,” as making claims in advertising are marketing that a product can assist in curing or mitigating the effects of certain diseases or health problems when in fact no scientific evidence supports those case. These types of scams costs consumers millions of dollars each year.

Products which assert they can cure chronic and often untreatable diseases such autism, certain types of cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or arthritis are particularly popular choices of the modern-day snake oil salesmen. Other medical products or supplements that attract such scams are weight-loss products, products that can slow the effects of aging, held stop smoking or cure acne.

Healthcare products are not the only products that are attractive for fraudulent and deceptive labeling. Advertising that food is “organic,” “natural,” or “contains no GMO ingredients” or is pure such as pure honey when in fact the product does not have these attributes can give rise to consumer fraud claims, which our Chicago consumer fraud and class action lawyers pursue.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
"I was referred to Peter Lubin from someone in the car business to handle a law suit. From the moment I made the appointment Peter and his staff were outstanding. This wasn't an easy case, most lawyers had turned me down. However, Peter took the time to meet with me and review everything. He took on the case, and constantly communicated with me about updates and case information. We beat this non-compete agreement case in record time. I would use him again and recommend him to my closest family and friends. 5 stars is not enough to thank him for his service." Sebastian R.
★★★★★
"I worked on two occasions with Peter Lubin and his staff. They took their time with me and discussed each and every item in detail. The group makes you feel like you are part of the family and not just another hourly charge. I recommend Peter to anyone who asks me for a referral. If you are looking for a top notch attorney at a reasonable rate, look no further than Lubin Austermuehle." Kurt A.
★★★★★

Great staff and great lawyers!" Albey L.
★★★★★
"I have known Peter Lubin for over 30 years. He has represented me on occasion with sound legal advice. He is a shrewd and tough negotiator leading to positive outcomes and averting prolonged legal hassles in court. He comes from a family with a legal pedigree and deep roots in Chicago's top legal community. You want him on your case. You need him on your opponents case. He won't stop fighting until he wins." Christopher G.
