Boericke & Tafel Homeopathic Products Focus of Class Action Lawsuit Investigation

Now a new class action lawsuit investigation has been launched into Boericke & Tafel, which manufactures and sells a variety of homeopathic remedies. Consider the company’s Triflora Arthritis Gel. It’s described as a “powerful remedy” to treat arthritis, “proven to relieve aches, pains and stiffness,” and “provides deep, penetrating relief.” That sounds great, so why are so many arthritis sufferers still complaining if something as simple as witch hazel is the cure? As it turns out, many Boericke & Tafel victims claim that false advertising caused them to spend money on a product they otherwise wouldn’t have bought.

An Overview of Boericke & Tafel Products

As one of the country’s oldest homeopathic companies, Boericke & Tafel has been around since 1835. This kind of history gives the company clout few of their competitors can take on. Surely some of their products do work to some degree, but the packaging and description is considered by some to go above and beyond what’s possible. For example, their Arniflora Arnica for muscle pain and stiffness is supposedly a “potent…remedy to ease muscle pain,” and a “favorite of athletes and trainers.” There’s no evidence provided if a majority of athletes or trainers use this product.

Psoriaflora for scaling and dry skin is packaged as “recommended by dermatologists,” a “maximum strength topical,” and having a “light, pleasant aroma that won’t stain clothing.” That sounds fantastic, but how many dermatologists have recommended it? Does everyone agree the aroma is pleasant, and have there been zero incidents of staining? The line between advertising and false advertising is certainly blurry, but some consumers have complained that Boericke & Tafel goes over the line.

What is False Advertising?

Five things need to be proven for advertising to qualify as false: A false statement has been made about the product; it deceives or potentially deceives a large amount of people; the deception probably impacts the decision to purchase, interstate commerce; and the deception may results or has resulted in injury to the plaintiff.

The most important factor to look at in the Boericke & Tafel class action lawsuit investigation is number five. Are people opting for these remedies when they should really be choosing a stronger, different medication?

Nowadays, there are three types of false advertising to consider: Failure to disclose, product disparagement, and flawed and insignificant research. Again, it’s the final issue that product liability attorneys allege Boericke & Tafel is struggling with. Research needs to be provided by an “accepted authority research which are contradicted by prevailing authority or research” according to the Lanham Act. Has Boericke & Tafel delivered this?
