Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating Bluebonnet Chelated Magnesium 200 mg for potentially misleading advertising practices. The product is labeled as providing 200 mg of chelated magnesium from magnesium aspartate.
Magnesium aspartate is approximately 9% magnesium by weight, so providing the labeled amount entirely from magnesium aspartate would require a serving of about 4.75 grams. Laboratory testing, however, reportedly found that a two-capsule serving weighs less than 2 grams and contains approximately 454 mg of aspartic acid/aspartate, corresponding to only about 41 mg of magnesium from magnesium aspartate.
The analysis suggests that some of the magnesium in Bluebonnet Chelated Magnesium 200 mg may therefore come from another source, such as magnesium oxide, which is not declared on the label. Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether consumers were misled about the source of magnesium in Bluebonnet Chelated Magnesium 200 mg.
Consumers May Have Experienced:
- Purchasing Bluebonnet Chelated Magnesium 200 mg because it was represented as containing magnesium from magnesium aspartate;
- Paying for Bluebonnet Chelated Magnesium 200 mg based on its advertised form or source of magnesium;
- Receiving a product that may contain magnesium from a source not disclosed on the label;
- Discovering that the product’s serving size may be inconsistent with the amount of magnesium aspartate necessary to provide 200 mg of magnesium; or
- Feeling that the product’s labeling did not accurately describe what they purchased.
Potential Claims May Include:
- False or misleading advertising;
- Product mislabeling or misbranding;
- Misrepresentation of product ingredients;
- Breach of express or implied warranties;
- Unjust enrichment; and
- Violations of applicable state consumer-protection laws.
