Over the past few weeks, the FTC has sent out millions in refund checks to Americans impacted by fraud and misrepresentations.
The FTC sent over $395,000 to more than 1,800 customers who purchased Hepaxa fish oil supplements marketed with false claims.
Checks are going out to consumers who purchased either Hepaxa or Hepaxa PD supplements marketed to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
According to the FTC’s action, BASF and DIEM Labs advertised Hepaxa supplements with false claims that the products were clinically proven to treat fatty liver disease. In reality, the companies couldn’t back up these claims with real results, the FTC contended.
BASF SE and DIEM Labs agreed to pay $416,000 to the FTC to resolve these claims, $396,431 of which is being used to fund payments to affected consumers through PayPal or physical checks.
Consumers who receive a check should cash it within 90 days. Consumers who receive a PayPal payment should accept it within 30 days.
Additional questions about these refunds can be directed to Analytics Consulting LLC at 1-833-935-4132.
