Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether lion’s mane mushroom gummies and other functional mushroom gummies are marketed in a way that misleads consumers about how much mushroom they contain.
Lion’s mane gummies are often marketed with large milligram figures and claims about focus, memory, and health. Industry reviewers report that many of these products are made from mushroom mycelium grown on grain rather than from the mushroom itself, and that the grain can make up a large share of the finished ingredient. Many products do not disclose their beta-glucan content, a common measure of mushroom content and quality.
Consumers pay premium prices for mushroom supplements expecting to receive meaningful amounts of mushroom. If a product consists largely of grain starch, consumers may not be getting what the label suggests.
Potential concerns may include:
- Misleading ingredient and dosage representations
- Products that may consist largely of grain filler
- Price-premium injury
Signs You May Be Affected:
- You purchased lion’s mane or other functional mushroom gummies;
- You relied on the advertised mushroom content or milligram amount;
- The label describes the ingredient as “mycelium” or a “mushroom blend” without disclosing beta-glucan content.
Potential Claims May Include:
- Violations of state consumer protection laws;
- False advertising;
- Breach of express and implied warranty;
- Unjust enrichment.
