Lipozene False Advertising Class Action Lawsuit
By Mike Holter
A federal class action lawsuit is claiming the Obesity Research Institute is pushing its “Lipozene” products with bogus claims that they are “safe and effective” weight loss products “clinically proven to reduce body fat.”
“In reality, Lipozene’s main ingredient, Glucomannan, is simply a water-soluble dietary fiber with no ability to cause weight loss or the reduction of body fat. Defendant’s statements about the Product’s efficacy are false and misleading, and the research relied upon by Defendant does not substantiate its claims,” the Lipozene class action lawsuit states.
The false advertising lawsuit cites several studies that conclude Glucomannan has no effect on weight loss when compared to a placebo, and that it would take 20 to 30 grams of Glucomannan a day to achieve substantial weight loss, “enough to cause severe diarrhea and other gastrointestinal distress.”
The Lipozene class action lawsuit is seeking $5 million in damages and restitution for a class of all U.S. persons who purchased Lipozene from a retail location in California or online at any time after April 1, 2011 through the date of trial.

The case is Martin Conde v. Obesity Research Institute, LLC, 12-cv-0413 RSWL (RZx), U.S. District court, Central District of California.

Lepozene DOES NOT work at all. When I order this pills they charge mi bank account for more than 29.00 as they’re advertising shows, I used the pills for 3 month plus the metabolism and I did not loose a pound. I get stomach aches and my sugar levels were craizy. I want my money back 180 plus dollars
So I bought this worthless crap too. How do I get my money back ? I didnt want to sign up for this website news letter of spam I just want to know how I can get my F*$%ing money back PLUS interest ???If anybody can tell me that I am all ears.
I bought lipozene thinking it would work. It didn’t. When I returned it, I was not reimbursed, cause they said I was I to call to get authorization. I got a message in my email about a settlement, but when I click on the link, it says that the web page is not available. GRRRR
Can someone please tell me how to file a claim for a refund. I have proof of purchase so I should be eligible for the full refund but I have no idea how or where to file a claim.
