Nivea My Silhouette National Class Action |
CONSUMER LAW GROUP has launched a national class action lawsuit against Beiersdorf on behalf of individuals who have purchased the product Nivea My Silhouette Slimming & Reshaping Gel-Cream.
The class action involves the deceptive, misleading, false, and unfair advertising of Nivea My Silhouette Slimming & Reshaping Gel-Cream as a product whose regular use will result in a significant reduction in body size, particularly of the thighs, hips, waist and stomach. In truth and in fact, there is no evidence to support these claims.
As a result, consumers were induced into purchasing My Silhouette under the premise that it would cause them to lose weight, a false and misleading representation, thereby vitiating their consent and entitling them to claim a refund for the purchase price of the product.
On June 29, 2011, the company reached a settlement with the USA Federal Trade Commission forcing the skin cream maker Beiersdorf to pay $900,000 in compensation to consumers, as well as, stopping its claim that regular use of its Nivea My Silhouette skin cream would help consumers slim down.
However, the product remains on store shelfs in Canada with these same weight-loss claims on the packaging and no compensation has been made available to Canadian consumers.
