Prevagen Scrubs Memory-Improvement Claims Following Court Order
What led up to brain supplement’s December to remember.
In August 2013, a federal appeals court overturned a settlement reached between Procter & Gamble and consumers who sued the company in 2010 for allegedly falsely advertising its Pampers diapers with Dry Max technology. Plaintiffs claimed that P&G marketed the diapers as safe for babies when, in reality, they cause severe rashes, blisters, welts, bleeding, infections, and other ailments. The settlement reached in 2011 gave the named plaintiffs $1,000 per affected child, no monetary award to the unnamed plaintiffs, and $2.73 million to the plaintiffs’ lawyers. A few of the class members objected to the settlement as being, among other things, unfair to the unnamed plaintiffs, and the appeals court agreed, overturning the settlement agreement.
