A proposed class action has been filed in New York in which the plaintiff claims Costco Wholesale Corporation and Trident Seafoods Corporation misrepresent the amounts of omega fatty acids in their Kirkland-brand Wild Alaskan Fish Oil products. According to the complaint, testing conducted by third party Consumer Lab, LLC, found the defendants’ ostensible 1050 mg Whole Omega Fatty Acids product contained only “436.1 mg total omega-5s, 6s, 7s, 9s, and 11s,” only 48.1 percent of what the product’s label promises. The lawsuit charges that consumers across New York state have ultimately paid more for the allegedly mislabeled fish oil supplement than they otherwise would have had they known the true quantity of omega fatty acids.
