U.S. health officials are now saying more than 200 people, with more than 1/4 of those in Georgia (53 reported cases), have become “sick” after taking the dietary supplement Total Body Formula and Total Body Mega Formula. I think “sick” is an understatement. Massive amounts of selenium and chromium are causing people to lose their fingernails, lose their hair, to have joint pain, vomiting, and even kidney and liver failure from toxicity. I did a quick search on Google news and there are only two newspaper articles that have attempted to notify the public of the product and its voluntary recall. Thankfully for Georgia residents, the AJC ran a story just this past week on the problem. The FDA is saying most symptoms will go away over time and after people stop taking the supplement. If you do a Google search on the product, you will find out that plaintiff’s attorneys are leading the way in getting the notification out to the public. This is yet another example how, despite big-business and insurance trying to say otherwise, the personal injury system works to protect the consumer.
