For years, USPLabs sold OxyElite Pro with a stimulant called DMAA, which has been linked to cardiac arrests and death. After OxyElite Pro was re-formulated, more unapproved ingredients were linked to a deadly epidemic of liver failure in Hawaii. In February 2015, the FDA found Prozac (fluoxetine) in OxyElite Pro.

As a condition of the settlement, USPLabs agreed to remove a controversial ingredient called DMAA from OxyElite Pro and Jack3D.

About Class Actions
Class action lawsuits make a lot of sense when many people have a similar legal claim against the same defendant, but it would be too expensive for one person to file a lawsuit alone. Many plaintiffs consolidate their claim into one lawsuit, one plaintiff is chosen to represent the entire group, and only the representative’s case goes to trial. If a settlement is awarded, the members of the class action share it equally.
