A class action lawsuit has been filed against Bayer claiming that their One-A-Day Men’s Health Formula multivitamins did not live up to the benefits as advertised. The particular statements made by Bayer associated with the multivitamins that were cited in the lawsuit were “support prostate health” and “may reduce the risk of cancer”. Claimants states that they were overcharged for the vitamins alleging the product did not provide the advertised prostate health benefits as stated. Like any good defendant Bayer denies any wrong doing in the case but has agreed to settlement terms. A settlement fund of $300,000 has been developed and will be made in cash payments to class members who file timely claims. The case is in the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio and is entitled Godec v. Bayer Corp.
