Health-Ade Kombucha: Lawsuit Claims Products Contain Toxic Chemicals Beverage company Health-Ade has misled its customers by marketing certain flavors of its kombucha products as “healthy” when, in reality, the drinks contain toxic chemicals that should not be ingested, according to a recently filed lawsuit. The case states that despite representations that the drinks are “natural” and “organic,” independent testing has revealed the beverages contain “dangerously high levels” of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—a group of human-made chemicals that have been linked to harmful health and environmental effects.

| | ~ In Other News ~ | A recently filed lawsuit accuses StubHub of operating a “criminal enterprise” in which it knowingly advertises and brokers the sale of fraudulent tickets. As the case tells it, some customers have purchased tickets through the StubHub website only to find out upon arrival to the event that the tickets were “fraudulent/invalid” and that the company was not authorized to sell or act as a third-party ticket broker for the event. A full breakdown of the allegations can be found here. |
| A recently filed lawsuit is alleging that certain Beautyrest and Madison Park bedding products have been falsely advertised as having a higher thread count than they actually do. Specifically, the case states that despite label representations that Beautyrest sheets and pillowcases have a 1,000 thread count, independent testing has revealed that the products are actually made with a thread count of 216. Similarly, testing showed that the real thread count for the Madison Park products falls somewhere between 237 and 295 despite being advertised at 1,500, according to the suit.
