A Tennessee man is suing the maker of Member’s Mark supplements, Sam’s West, alleging the company falsely advertises one of its joint health supplements.
Plaintiff Matthew Casella filed the class action lawsuit against Sam’s West Inc. on March 23 in a Tennessee federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws.
Sam’s West manufactures and sells Member’s Mark turmeric curcumin complex joint health supplements purporting to contain 500 mg of turmeric and curcumin, Casella says.
According to the lawsuit, the product’s front label representations say it contains 500 mg of “standardized extract” of “turmeric curcumin complex” and the Supplement Facts on the back label specify that “95% Standardized Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Extract” was used.
These representations give consumers the impression the product contains 95% (475mg) of curcuminoids per serving, Casella says.
“However, lab testing conducted by ConsumerLab.com in 2019 revealed that instead of the expected 475 mg, the Product contains only 9.7 mg of curcuminoids per serving,” he alleges.
