Attorneys Investigating Fish Oil Dietary Supplement Claims, ClassAction.org Reports

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are investigating whether certain companies may have mislabeled their fish oil dietary supplements. It is believed that by mislabeling these supplements, the companies may have misled consumers about the products’ ingredients and their effects on consumers’ health. In light of this information, the attorneys working with ClassAction.org would like to hear from those who purchased these supplements to help assist in their investigation.

Fish oil is one of the most popular dietary supplements on the market. Millions of Americans use the dietary supplement for heart and cardiovascular health, and in 2013, fish oil products generated about $1.2 billion in sales in the United States, according to The New York Times. These dietary supplements can be taken in either liquid or soft gel forms and can be purchased from a variety of retailers including vitamin and food stores.

The supplement often comes from fish such as mackerel, herring, tuna, halibut, salmon and cod liver, because they are the most nutrient-rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These acids promote brain and nervous system health, have anti-inflammatory effects on the body and may help to lower blood pressure and triglyceride levels (fats related to cholesterol). Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids may help a variety of mental health conditions such as depression, psychosis, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Alzheimer’s disease.
