No need to sue. Let’s imagine you and I buy ACME Vitamin C for $10 each bottle. On a lark we test it and find out it isn’t vitamin C what will happen?
1. We stop buying ACME brand and tell all our friends.
2. We could sue ACME under class action for damages.
3. 1. or 2. would end ACME as a company and vitamin producer.
4. The publicity would put other manufacturers on notice.
5. They’d respond by either leaving the market or using their true vitamin C content as a selling point backed up by a private testing lab - a la UL.
No government intervention, except a fair, swift and objective judicial system.
Okay, how long are you going to buy Acme Vitamin C before you decide to conduct scientific tests on it?
And on EACH of the thousands of other products you use each month?
You are beginning to sound like a hippie.

Now here's what would happen in the real world: You sue Acme and they dissolve the corporation, all their assets vanishing through the magic of bookkeeping. The principals take their ill gotten gains and set up another corporation and do the same thing. Repeat until you go broke suing them and getting nothing or they have too much money to bother perpetuating the scam.
