9th Circuit Reverses Class Decertification In Aphrodisiac Supplement Suit

Mealey's (September 19, 2017, 10:07 AM EDT) -- PASADENA, Calif. — A Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel on Sept. 15 reversed a trial court’s decertification of a class of consumers suing a supplement maker for allegedly including false claims on the labels of its aphrodisiac supplements, ruling that the trial court abused its discretion when it based its decision on the lead plaintiff’s inability to provide restitution damages through the full refund model (Troy Lambert, et al. v. Nutraceutical Corp., No. 15-56423, 9th Cir., 2017 U.S. App. LEXIS 17923)....
