A California woman is suing Jillian Michaels, claiming the celebrity trainer is endorsing a diet supplement that contains false advertising.
Christie Christensen on Tuesday sued Michaels, one of the stars of NBC’s “Biggest Loser.” Christensen’s lawsuit claims she bought a product called “Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control” (a product emblazoned with Michaels’ picture) last month and that it has failed to lessen her appetite or cause her to lose weight as advertised.
The product and a Web site advertising include the claim, “Two Capsules Before Main Meals and You Lose Weight … That’s It!” “Ms. Michaels knows better – taking two pills before eating does not miraculously cause weight loss,” the lawsuit states. The Web site and packaging however note that the statements haven’t been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Christensen is seeking class-action status for her claims, which include untrue and misleading advertising. She is also suing Calorie Control’s maker, Utah-based Basic Research. Basic Research said the company may issue a statement soon. More details can be found at Jillian Michaels sued Over Diet Supplement .
