Biggest Loser host and trainer Jillian Michaels is being sued over her detox supplements that allegedly “might kill you,” according to court documents filed Wednesday in L.A. County Superior Court.
The class action lawsuit claims Michael’s’s “Triple Process Total Body Detox & Cleanse” diet supplement contains a “potentially lethal combination of toxic ingredients” … and it “might kill you.”
The woman who filed the lawsuit wants to only be known by her initials, R.D., due to her “very real fear of retaliation or harassment by Defendants.” In the suit she outlines what she considers to be the risks associated with various ingredients in the detox product:
Irish Moss Powder … “causes gastrointestinal ulcers” and is “so toxic that it is the gel commonly applied to aircraft wings to dissolve ice”
Bearberry … “known to cause nausea and vomiting”
Yarrow … “a toxic lawn weed that causes dermatitis”
Chinese Rhubarb … “a harsh laxative and dangerous diuretic that can cause sever dehydration and may cause irreversible liver damage”
Fenugreek Seed … “interferes with digestion and causes both diarrhea and gas”
R.D. is suing Michaels and Thin Care International for more than $10 million for “actively and fraudulently” conspiring to hide the alleged dangers of their product.
Michaels has not released a statement regarding the lawsuit.
