QuickTrim Hit with $5M False Advertising Class Action Lawsuit

“Keeping Up With the Kardashians” stars Kim and Khloe Kardashian are in legal hot water following reports they’re facing a $5 million class action lawsuit over their endorsement of the diet supplement QuickTrim, which allegedly contains an unsafe amount of caffeine.

As official endorsers of QuickTrim, the Kardashian sisters are featured in ads for the product and tweet regularly to their millions of followers about their own personal use of QuickTrim. Both sisters claimed they lost 15 pounds from using the weight-loss supplement.

According to news outlets, a New York law firm has filed a $5 million class action lawsuit on behalf of four customers who allege they used QuickTrim and did not see the same results the Kardashians say they did. The customers are also claiming they were unaware that QuickTrim contains a large dose of caffeine, which the FDA has determined is not a safe or effective treatment for weight loss or weight control.

QuickTrim is manufactured by New Jersey-based company Windmill Health products. The class action lawsuit is accusing Windmill Health of false advertising.
