The Biggest Loser may be Jillian Michaels
Looks like the in your face and outspoken personal trainer is facing potentially hefty losses of the financial kind.
Apparently, the Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control, which claims you only need to “take two before each meal and you lose weight!” failed to deliver it’s promise and two separate class action lawsuits have been launched in California by a pair of weight conscious women with dollar signs floating before their eyes.
Christie Christensen and Stephanie Creer both filed the suits this week, saying the label constituted false advertising. According to E! Online, Christensen is seeking about $5 million in damages. Although the label does say that the product has not been tested by the FDA, the company that makes it, Thincare, is ready to fight it out in court, saying they’re confident they’ll win.
In a statement Michaels said, “My reputation and credibility are of the utmost importance to me. This baseless lawsuit is entirely without merit and is being handled by my legal team…I stand behind all my products and remain committed to helping people achieve their health and wellness goals.”
You know, this could all have been avoided had the two women just stuck with a diet of Tic-Tacs and Ex-lax or actually tried exercise. Works wonders, though it won’t increase the size of your bank account.
Jillian Michaels is certainly the biggest success with having a business at the moment. She should be cautious not to promote junk products however as she says that the true path to fitness is great food and keeping fit.
