NaturMed, the maker of the popular All Day Energy Greens, has been hit with a class action lawsuit by a grieving widow who says the superfood drink is not fit for consumption as it contains harmful toxic substances.
According to the NaturMed class action lawsuit, All Day Energy Greens is marketed as an “all natural energy drink” with “no chemical additives” that “Naturally Increases Energy, Improves Digestion, Rich in Antioxidant Superfoods, Supports Weight Management” and “helps support healthy digestive function,” among other claims.
However, plaintiff Kaye Wink says that these representations are false and materially misleading because All Day Energy Greens contain substances known to be harmful or toxic when ingested by human beings.
Wink cites a recent 2015 recall initiated by NaturMed in the state of California for various lots of its dietary supplements based on their contamination with toxic substances.
The lawsuit states that various lots of All Day Energy Greens contain active bacteria and other contaminations, which can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, coma, and even death.
Wink filed the class action on behalf of her deceased husband and other consumers in the state of Kentucky who purchased All Day Energy Greens relying on representations made by NaturMed that the dietary supplement was safe, effective, immune enhancing, and beneficial.
“In reality, Defendant’s All Day Energy Greens were hazardous for human consumption and could cause severe, chronic illness, bodily impairment, and death – none of which were disclosed to California consumers nor any other consumers. More importantly, Defendant’s recall of All Day Energy Greens was not published for the benefit of Kentucky consumers,” the lawsuit states.
According to Wink, her late husband ingested All Day Energy Greens and in August 2015 began to experience severe abdominal pain.
In September and October Mr. Wink visited multiple doctors regarding his pain, including a gastroenterologist who performed numerous test to determine the cause of his abdominal pain. However, prior to full treatment of his abdominal pain, Mr. Wink passed away in his sleep on Oct. 27, 2015.
His surviving wife is bringing claims for violation of the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act, stating that NaturMed’s actions in promoting All Day Energy Greens is deceptive and unfair and that the company had a direct responsibility to warn consumers about the risks of consuming the supplement when they became aware of the dangerous and defective nature of the product in July 2015.
“Defendant did not issue any public notification that members of the public should not consume its supplements due to the risk of severe health problems,” the All Day Energy Greens class action lawsuit states.
Wink is seeking to represent a certified Class of Kentucky consumers who were led to believe that All Day Energy Greens were safe to consume when it fact they contained harmful, toxic ingredients. She is asking for actual and punitive damages in an amount to be determined by a jury.
Additionally, Wink is requesting a permanent injunction against the continued manufacture, distribution and sale of the contaminated dietary supplements.
Wink is represented by Tim Edwards and Kevin M. McCormack of Ballin, Ballin & Fishman P.C.; Frank L. Watson, III and William F. Burns of Watson Burns, PLLC.
The All Day Energy Greens Class Action Lawsuit is Kaye Wink v. NaturMed Inc., d/b/a the Institute for Vibrant Living, Case No. 4:16-cv-90-JHM, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, Owensboro Division.

I have been taking all day energy greens for 12 years and now I have developed kidney and on dialysis for the past three years please include me in your class action lawsuit .
I have been taking All Day Energy Greens for over 10 years. I’m 72 and have some health issues but I can’t specifically relate them to taking this product. If it is true that this product is harmful then I would be interested in joining the class action suit. Thank You.
WOW! Just Went On The Website To Order The All Day Energy Greens & Saw This Lawsuit! I Purchased All Day Energy Greens For Many Years Between 2013 & 2019. I Also Always Bought The “Ruby” One With The Fruits. In 2015 I Had A Heart Attack, Was Diagnosed With A-Fib & Mitral Valve Prolapse. I Am Still Suffering From These Disorders. Please Include Me In The Class Action Lawsuit. I Was Living At 1456 Holly well Avenue In Chambersburg, Pa. All Those Years That I Was Ordering Those 2 Products! My Name Is Denise Graves & My Email Is Gravesdm22@gmail.com.
I was using this product from 2012-2015. I have been sick ever since with gastrointestinal problems. I never put the two together. I have always been healthy and a good weight.
I thought this product would help me and give me energy.
I have been paying a very high price just to keep my body functioning. Alot of distress to my intestines everyday. I can’t believe that the company personally does not reach out.
I have never had Crohns till I started taking this supplement!!
I am 59 years old. Crohns usually does not start this late in life. I want to be put on this list to fight what is right.
Sincerely,
Lori Tyra
I lost my dad in 2015 and I know after reading these comments this contributed and caused his death. He had a aeortic aneurysm from bacteria. He had it removed started drinking this again and it came back. The doctors kept on asking was he eating bologna or any lunch meat because of the bacteria. I kept telling them no. Please include me in this law suit.
I myself had purchased the ADEG & had stomach issues every since. Thank you for starting this lawsuit & please include me in the settlement.
I too have taken this product for over 4 years. in 2019 I developed a heart arrhythmia issue and just underwent Heart Abulation surgery in Aug 2021. I also have been recently diagnosed with lung cancer and the nodule is in an area that is inoperable so I will lose part of my lung and I have never smoked. Can’t help but wonder if it is due to this product. To be deceived by businesses that just don’t care about the safety of their products. For shame. I would be happy to take a stand against this business if I am still alive..
I also took ADEG for 2 years starting in 2014 bought large lot for me and my wife plus let family members try 2016 notice just said a few people claimed to have stomach aches and you could dump out any remaining product not a notice to stop using I would like to know what toxins and bacteria and contamination’s were found my lot was #1406339 still have 1 unopened container
I am so glad that I come across this ad. I remember stop taking it after college because I would feel unfocused, my sight would get blurred later finds out my I am having problem with low blood sugar which is the same feeling I would get when taking All Day Green. Because it gave me energy as it stated thinking it’s okay. I would like to be apart of the class action suit I used the product through my colleges years at the university. I am from Texas.
