If you purchased any Fuze beverage for personal consumption, and not for resale,
in the United States between July 16, 2004 and April 6, 2009, or in New Jersey between
July 16, 2002 and July 15, 2004, a class action settlement pending in the Los Angeles
County Superior Court could affect your rights. In addition, if you purchased Fuze
Slenderize beverage for personal consumption during these time periods you may qualify
to receive a portion of the $4.5 million common fund.
The lawsuit being settled claims that Fuze’s marketing, advertising and labeling
of its Slenderize, Vitalize, Refresh and Tea beverages misled consumers regarding
ingredients contained in the beverages, as well as their potential functional benefits.
The lawsuit further alleges that Fuze misled consumers of its Slenderize beverages
by claiming or inferring that the product promoted appetite suppression and/or weight
loss. Fuze denies that it did anything wrong. The Court has not decided which side
was right, but both sides agreed to the settlement to resolve the case.
