Maker of Hoodia and Green Tea Products to Pay $2.65 Million Settlement for Unfair Business Practices
On February 1, 2011, supplement maker Irwin Naturals agreed to pay civil penalties, consumer restitution, and and investigative costs to settle a suit in California alleging that Irwin Naturals marketed Hoodia products that did not contain the hoodia gordonii herb despite the product labeling.
