Cytodyne Xenadrine EFX Testimonials

FTC Fines Xenadrine EFX Maker over Testimonials, Claims - January 06, 2007

The Federal Trade Commission said Thursday it was fining the marketers of four weight-loss food supplements a collective $25 million for false advertising claims.

"It is resolution time again, isn't it?" said FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras. "We're implementing our resolution to fight back against companies that use deceptive advertising claims."

Some of the products marketed their claims through infomercials or celebrity testimonials.

"Testimonials from individuals are not a substitute for science," Majoras said. "And that's what Americans need to understand."

A fine of at least $8 million was levied against the marketer of Xenadrine EFX, made by New Jersey-based Nutraquest, Inc., formerly known as Cytodyne Technologies. The marketer was identified as RTC Research & Development, LLC, based in Manasquan, N.J.

Majoras said Xenadrine had a study showing that people who took a placebo lost more weight than those taking the pill. The FTC's investigation also found that consumer endorsers, people who appear in the before-and-after pictures in many ads, lost weight by engaging in serious diet and exercise programs. They didn't just take the Xenadrine EFX as the testimony implies.

Consumers who purchased Xenadrine EFX and CortiSlim directly from the marketers will be contacted by the FTC about getting their money back. People who bought the pills over the counter will have to wait a few months for the agency to put up a public notice on its Web site telling them how to recoup money. People turn to the pills because they promise results with no effort.
