Jury Hands Down a Verdict in Prevagen Deceptive Marketing Case
Verdict comes nine years after TINA.org alerted regulator to supplement’s unsubstantiated health claims.
A class-action lawsuit was filed against Cynosure, Inc. for allegedly deceptively marketing the MonaLisa Touch laser system as a vaginal rejuvenation device that will increase intimacy and improve sexual function when, according to the complaint, the FDA has not approved the device for such purposes and the device is dangerous and may cause vaginal burns, scarring, and pain. The complaint was originally filed in August 2018 and amended in October 2018. (Three R LLC et al and Cynosure, Inc., Case No. 18-cv-30133, D. Mass.)
