This is just the tip of the iceberg. Ads have started appearing in my local market seeking claimants for a lawsuit against Metabolife. Makes me wonder if the trial lawyers were working behind the scenes in DC to push for the recent ban on Ephedra in order to strengthen their cases.

I wouldn't be surprised if the drug companies are behind this.

Ephedra? The same stuff that warned not to take if you have high blood pressure?

I wouldn't give a dime to anyone who of their own free will, and not under the instruction of a professional, took any supplement and had a bad experience. It says quite clearly on all supplments that the statements of said supplements have not been verified by the FDA = use at your own risk, idiot.

At least I know I won't ever be pulling jury duty on one of these . . .

People used to take responsibilty for their actions and the consequences of said actions, now, it's always someone else's fault.

Metabolife was known to cause central nervous system damage, seizures, cardiovascular hypertenson, palpitations, cardiac arrest, and even sudden death.

Yeah, but you are going to look great in a bikini.
