• Spencer v. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. et al
• Conrad v. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc.
• Boorman v. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc.

Early 2015: Multiple lawsuits have been filed against Nutramax for allegedly falsely advertising that its dietary supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin provide numerous joint health benefits without scientific evidence to support such claims. The lawsuits were transferred to one court where several lawsuits making similar allegations will be heard together. To read the individual complaints for each case, click on the case names below:

• Dorfman et al v. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc., Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., and Rite-Aid Corporation, Case No. 13-cv-873, S. D. CA.,
• Spencer et al v. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc., Case No. 13-cv-21289, S. D. FL.,
• Conrad et al v. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc., Case No. 13-cv-3780, E. D. IL., and
• Boorman et al v. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. and Nutramax Manufacturing, Inc., Case No. 13-cv-7251, S. D. NY..

Although another lawsuit (Ferrell et al v. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. et al, Case No. 14-cv-606, N. D. CA.) was also transferred to this court in March 2014, this case will not be heard with the others because the plaintiffs dismissed the claims.
