Naked Nutrition Class Action Overview:

Who: Sevien Caballero has filed a class action lawsuit against Naked Whey Inc., which operates as Naked Nutrition.
-
Why: The lawsuit claims Naked Nutrition misrepresents its protein powders as premium quality and free from heavy metals.
-
Where: The lawsuit is filed in federal court in California.
A recent class action lawsuit accuses Naked Nutrition of misleading consumers regarding the safety and quality of its protein powder products. Plaintiff Sevien Caballero alleges that Naked Nutrition’s Naked Mass Vegan Mass Gainer is marketed as “premium” and “verified for purity,” yet contains harmful levels of heavy metals, specifically lead.
Key Allegations:
-
Heavy Metal Contamination: A Consumer Reports study indicated that one serving of Naked Mass Gainer contains 7.7 micrograms of lead, which exceeds California’s safety limit by approximately 1,570%.
-
Health Risks: The plaintiff argues that Naked Nutrition should have known about the health risks posed by heavy metals in their products, especially since these protein powders are frequently consumed.
-
Misrepresentation: Caballero claims that the company knowingly misled consumers about the true quality of its products.
Legal Action:
Caballero seeks to represent a nationwide class and a California subclass of consumers who purchased Naked Nutrition’s protein powders. He demands a jury trial and requests various forms of relief, including compensatory and punitive damages.
This lawsuit follows another related class action from June, which accused Naked Nutrition of falsely advertising its vegan protein powder’s protein content.
