Class Action Alleges Feel Free, 7-Eleven Misled Consumers
Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit filed this week claim that the makers of functional shot brand Feel Free Wellness Tonic and 7-Eleven may have misled consumers about the risk of addiction to kratom, an active ingredient in the drink.
The lawsuit alleges that Feel Free and 7-Eleven failed to provide adequate warning labels or instructions regarding the potential addictive properties of kratom. The plaintiffs argue that they were not properly informed about the risks associated with consuming the product, leading to addiction and other adverse health effects.
If proven true, this could have serious implications for both Feel Free and 7-Eleven, as misleading consumers about the potential risks of a product is a violation of consumer protection laws. The outcome of this class action lawsuit could potentially lead to changes in labeling requirements and increased transparency in the marketing of similar products in the future.
