In March 2008, a Total Body Formula recall was issued for liquid dietary supplements which were found to have excessive amounts of certain ingredients, which could result in serious and potentially life threatening injuries. Users have reported suffering kidney failure, rhabdomyolysis, gastrointestinal disorders, hair loss, fingernail deformities and other serious injuries.
TOTAL BODY FORMULA LAWSUIT STATUS: A number of lawsuits have been filed by users who suffered serious injuries as a result of the Total Body Formula problems. A petition has been filed to consolidate all federal Total Body Formula lawsuits in one jurisdiction, and hearings will be held September 25, 2008 to consider this motion.
