Trimspa Scam
Is Trimspa just a scam? Many people may think so after they have tried the Trimspa weight loss pills and they didn’t work for them. There are a few positive reviews for the diet pills on the Trimspa website but there are many negative reviews elsewhere on the internet. People are complaining that they pills do not work as the Trimspa company claims they will. Many people claimed that the pills did nothing for them. Others say they lost a few pounds but gained them back plus more after they stopped taking the diet pills. Then there are those who had to stop taking the Trimspa diet pills because they experienced side effects. The Trimspa company was hurting financially back in 2003 and might have collapsed had they not hired Anna Nicole Smith as their spokesperson. The Trimspa sales had fallen and the company was in about as low as they could go without filing for bankruptcy when they heard that Anna Nicole Smith had made the comment that she lost 69 pounds in 8 months while taking the Trimspa diet pills. Anna Nicole became their spokesperson in October, 2003 and appeared in the Trimspa commercials and banner ad campaigns. The sales of diet pills soared for about two years. Then the lawsuits began to surface. Anna Nicole Smith and the Trimspa company were sued for false advertising and making misleading statements about their diet pills. It was also discovered that Anna Nicole was also taking other aids to help her lose weight at the same time she was taking the Trimspa diet pills. This statement she had made to reporters did not sit well with a lot of people.
The Federal Trade Commission fined the Trimspa company $1.5 million for false advertising and making statements about their diet pills that they did not have scientific proof to back them up. The Trimspa company claims that their diet pills are made from all natural ingredients. They have most of the ingredients listed on the labels of each bottle of pills but they are keeping a few ingredients a secret. They do not list the amount of each ingredient in each pill on the labels so there is no way of knowing how much of any one ingredient you are getting in each pill. Some people may be allergic to or not be able to take too much of some ingredients so the best option is to not take the pills at all. There are many reported side effects from the diet pills so you should discuss the pills with your doctor before you try it. People with certain medical problems and/or taking certain medications should not take the pills.
