Having lost a billion-dollar case over illegal marketing of its pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson is now being sued for misleading consumers about the artificial sweetener Splenda.
“Johnson & Johnson’s subsidiary, McNeil Nutritionals, has claimed Splenda Essentials can help people lose weight and live healthier lives, according to Barbara Bronson, one of the plaintiffs who brought the lawsuit.
The company’s advertising says Splenda Essentials provides B vitamins, antioxidants, and other ingredients that can lead to weight loss and the avoidance of disease, among other health benefits.”
