A jury in Alaska awarded $13.3 to a woman who suffered a stroke after taking a weight-loss product containing ephedrine. E'Ola International of St. George, Utah, was ordered to pay Rosalie Talbert $1.3 million in compensatory and $12 million in punitive damages because of its "outrageous" behavior in the sale of its AMP II Pro drops.
01/05/05 - Metabolife International is seeking a national settlement with U.S. consumers who allege they were injured by the company's now-defunct ephedra diet pill.
The privately held San Diego company, citing a "litigation onslaught" that threatens to financially bury it, has asked a federal judge in New York to approve the proposed multimillion-dollar class-action settlement.
If the plan is approved, consumers represented in about 300 personal injury lawsuits in federal and state courts could each receive up to $1.05 million - although they could also opt out and pursue separate court cases. The settlement would also cover future claims by injured consumers who have not filed lawsuits.
