Woman Suing Anna Nicole Smith Over TrimSpa Failure Neglects Diet's Prescribed Starvation Component
Into Anna Nicole Smith's ever-expanding accordion file of ongoing court dates and legal troubles, nestled next to tab headings "That Fuckhead Larry Birkhead," "Evictions: My Birthday Present Dream Home Edition," "Stuff the Bahamian Authorities Should Never, Ever Find Out About Daniel's Death," and "When Do I Get My Geezer-Banging Billions, Already?" comes yet another section, marked "Fat Chick Suing Me Cause Her TrimSpa Didn't Work Good":
Plaintiff Janet Luna and three people identified as her guardians were named in a lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The lawsuit alleges deceptive business practices and a violation of California's unfair competition law.
They are asking for unspecified damages, restitution and an injunction preventing Smith and New Jersey-based TrimSpa, maker of TrimSpa X32, from making claims that users of the pills can lose substantial amounts of weight.
Winning their case might hinge on the defendants' lawyers successfully proving that Luna did not follow to the letter the weight-loss supplement's 700 words of loose dosage suggestions (excerpt: "[C]ontinue taking 2 tablets, 3 times each day. If after the first 10 days you feel that 6 tablets a day is too much, you can begin taking 1 tablet, 3 times each day. Another option is to take 1 tablet before breakfast and lunch and 2 tablets before dinner each day..."), though the court may be unswayed when they introduce as a key piece of evidence an overhead projection of the fine print on the underside of every bottle reading, "WARNING: May not provide results if used in conjunction with food."
