Duri News - The Kardashian sisters always come up with new ways to stay in the media spotlight and this time around they have caused a stir with the QuickTrim diet pills. It has been revealed that the media-loving sisters are reportedly facing a $5 million lawsuit because the pills have been found to be ineffective.
According to reports, a lawsuit was filed by the law firm Bursor & Fisher on behalf of four angry customers against the Kardashian sisters - Kim, Kourtney and Khloe – in the federal court of New York. The plaintiffs who live in New York, California and Florida stated in their lawsuit that the QuickTrim diet pills endorsed by the Kardashian sisters were “false, misleading and unsubstantiated.”
It is said that the so-called slimming pills contain a large dose of caffeine mixed with herbal ingredients. TMZ.com reported that the customers claimed that caffeine, the main ingredient of the weight-loss products’ formula, is not an effective or safe diet treatment according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
“In reality, QuickTrim’s main ingredient is a large dose of caffeine, which the FDA has determined is not a safe or effective treatment for weight control,” the lawsuit said.
The diet product is “marketed by the defendants as a clinically proven formula that will increase metabolism, curb appetite and promote weight loss,” according to the court documents.
The customers also said in the suit they simply would not have brought the products if they were aware that they contained caffeine, adding that the Kardashian sisters lied in their testimonies regarding the product. The plaintiffs noted that all of QuickTrim’s ads “generally feature...photos of one or more of the Kardashian sisters in a bikini or other revealing attire.”
The Kardashian sisters have been endorsing QuickTrim since 2009. Kim, who has more than 13.5 million followers on social networking site twitter, once wrote on Twitter that, “Our QuickTrim cleanse will be massive! Khloe has already lost so much weight."
The reality TV diva tweeted last June: "Starting QuickTrim today. It's officially summer. I want to really get in fab shape! Whose with me?"
QuickTrim is meant to “detoxify and clean” the body which in turn helps in weight loss. However, according to a study published in the "Journal of Family Practice," it was found that colon cleansing could actually be harmful to your body and that there is no evidence to suggest that it would actually help you lose weight. It was also revealed that QuickTrim is basically just a mix of stimulants, laxatives, and diuretics.
