Naked Nutrition class action overview:<\/p>\n

Who: Plaintiff Sevien Caballero filed a class action lawsuit against Naked Whey Inc., which does business as Naked Nutrition.<\/p>\n

Why: Caballero claims Naked Nutrition misrepresented its protein powder products as being premium quality and free from heavy metals.<\/p>\n

Where: The Naked Nutrition class action lawsuit was filed in California federal court.<\/p>\n

A new class action lawsuit accuses Naked Nutrition of misrepresenting its protein powder products as being premium quality and free from heavy metals.<\/p>\n

Plaintiff Sevien Caballero\u2019s class action lawsuit alleges Naked Nutrition misrepresents its Naked Mass Vegan Mass Gainer protein powder products as being \u201cpremium\u201d products \u201cwith nothing to hide\u201d and \u201c[v]erified for purity,\u201d \u201c[t]rusted for quality\u201d and \u201c[i]ndependently tested for heavy metals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caballero argues the representations are false since the protein powder products contain or have a material risk of containing heavy metals, including lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumers lack the knowledge and opportunity to determine whether Defendant\u2019s Products do in fact contain (or have a material risk of containing) Heavy Metals or to ascertain the true nature of the ingredients and quality of the Products,\u201d the Naked Nutrition class action lawsuit says.<\/p>\n

Naked Nutrition protein powder contains 1.5x California\u2019s safe lead limit, class action alleges<\/p>\n

Caballero claims a recent Consumer Reports study<\/a> found that just one serving of Naked Nutrition\u2019s Vegan Naked Mass Gainer contains 7.7 micrograms of lead, approximately 1,570% of the California Office of Environmental Health and Hazard Assessment\u2019s Maximum Allowable Dose Levels limit of 0.5 micrograms.<\/p>\n

The plaintiff argues Naked Nutrition knew or should have known that heavy metals pose health risks to consumers and that the protein powders are consumed regularly as part of many people\u2019s \u201cdaily routine[s].\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the known health risks, Defendant knowingly, recklessly, negligently and\/or intentionally chose to misrepresent the true quality and nutritiousness of the Products when, in fact, the Products contained or risked containing Heavy Metals,\u201d the Naked Nutrition class action lawsuit says.<\/p>\n

Caballero wants to represent a nationwide class and California subclass of consumers who purchased Naked Nutrition\u2019s protein powder products. He demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of compensatory and punitive damages for himself and all class members.<\/p>\n

In June, another plaintiff filed a class action lawsuit<\/a> alleging Naked Whey misbrands and falsely advertises its Naked Nutrition vegan protein powders with deceptive protein claims on their labels.<\/p>\n
