The lawsuit against Olly vitamins primarily alleges that several of their melatonin sleep supplements contained significantly higher doses of melatonin than advertised on their labels. This class-action lawsuit claims misleading product labeling regarding the active ingredient dosage.
Allegations of Inaccurate Melatonin Dosing
Filed in the United States District Court of the Northern District of California, the plaintiffs contend that Olly's Sleep, Immunity Sleep, and Extra Strength Sleep gummies contained melatonin levels substantially exceeding their advertised amounts. This alleged mislabeling could lead consumers to ingest much more melatonin than they intended, potentially impacting their health and sleep patterns differently than expected.
Products and Alleged Overdosing
The specific products named in the lawsuit, along with their alleged overdose percentages compared to their advertised dosage per gummy, are detailed below:
Product Name | Advertised Dosage Allegation |
---|---|
Olly Sleep | 274% over advertised amount |
Olly Immunity Sleep | 165% over advertised amount |

Legal Venue
The legal action against Olly has been initiated in the United States District Court of the Northern District of California.
