Re: Lawsuit against BSN supplements!

Ballsy press release--sounds like there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than is evident on the surface of the complaint--I also didn't notice any appreciable harm being alleged (didn't read it that closely)--they may have a real problem getting a judge to certify this as a class action.

Re: Lawsuit against BSN supplements!

Interestingly enough, a number of Supplement Retailers in New Zealand had similtanious clearance sales on most BSN products (up to 60% off) late Nov/early Dec.

Can't help but wonder if they got wind of this little issue and just wanted to dump their stock before the consumers got wind of any rumours.

Have to say my training partner would NOT have maxed out his credit card for 6 containers of NO-Xplode & 4 CellMASS if he'd known this info!!

BIO-ENGINEERED SUPPLEMENTS & NUTRITION, INC. (BSN) VIGOROUSLY DEFENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

December 04, 2007
Boca Raton, Florida

Bio-Engineered Supplements & Nutrition, Inc. (BSN) is a leading developer, marketer, provider and distributor of nutritional supplements designed for health, training, physique, and performance support. Among other innovative products, BSN has assisted in developing countless advances within the sports nutrition industry, one of which is the ultra-premium breakthrough ingredient Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate (CEM3).

BSN PRIDES ITSELF ON INNOVATION!

With an unbridled commitment to the development of cutting edge ingredients and result producing products, BSN continues to set new standards in research and development with an emphasis on science and its direct correlation to real world results. This relentless commitment to innovation and excellence has graciously and humbly led BSN (in less than six years) to an unprecedented growth curve, which has been recognized and reported throughout the world’s business sectors.

BSN’s documented growth has validated it as a leading provider of ultra-premium products in over 75 countries and growing. BSN has been recognized with the prestigious award as the 2007 honoree as the 27th fastest growing privately held company in the USA out of 5000 privately held corporations by Inc. 500/5000. Additionally, BSN has also been graced with the award as the 4th fastest growing company in the health industry and the 2nd fastest growing company in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale Metro Region. Moreover, BSN was also recently featured in Forbes Magazine and the Nutritional Business Journal as a stand out company for its unprecedented growth and commitment as a leader and industry innovator.

These gracious accolades provided by these prestigious organizations only helps drive BSN’s desire and commitment to continue developing products that not only meet but exceed consumer expectations.

DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ – RELY ON WHAT IS PROVEN

The Law Firm of Call, Jensen & Ferrell (“The Firm”), which is linked to BSN’s competitor(s) (which will all be disclosed at the appropriate legal time), filed a lawsuit against BSN on behalf of Michael Rivera and Dan Abell individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated (the “Lawsuit”). The Lawsuit alleges that: 1) CEM3 does not exist in CELLMASS®, N.O.-XPLODE™ or NITRIX®; 2) BSN’s patent pending for CEM3 does not exist; 3) CEM3 does not exist; and 4) BSN is the alter ego of Chris Ferguson.

BSN contends that all of the claims made against it and Chris Ferguson are meritless and intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations. The Lawsuit is based upon a single test which did not directly test for the presence of the CEM3 ingredient, by a laboratory that never contacted BSN for information about CEM3. Contrary to the speculation of Call Jensen’s lawyers, a patent application for CEM3 does indeed exist and is currently pending before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. BSN is not the alter ego of Mr. Ferguson or any of its officers, but is a Delaware corporation in good standing and which observes all required corporate formalities.


THEY SAY IMITATION IS THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY - ????

BSN’s commitment as a leader and developer of cutting edge sports nutrition products has also unfortunately generated an enormous following of industry competitors who wish to try to live off of BSN’s unprecedented investment in research and development in an attempt to duplicate our products’ efficacy.

This unfortunate practice is all too common by our fellow industry competitors, which often leads to deceptive tactics by these “me too” companies, which ultimately leads to unethical practices. These unethical practices cause the consumer to be misled and hurt the integrity of those companies which are truly trying to make a difference, like BSN.

BSN FINISHES FIRST!

BSN’s corporate mission from day one was to make products consumers could unequivocally consider to be the most superior products available.

For those customers and retailers that have relentlessly supported our vision and products, we could never repay you for your loyalty, we can only hope that our products have helped deliver and serve your needs in reaching your health, physique, and performance goals. BSN will continue to push the limits of science with result producing products that continue to set new standards in innovation and efficacy. We thank you for your patronage.

Yours in Health, Transformation, and Performance

TEAM BSN


BSN has hired the firms of AminHallihan, LLC out of Illinois and ReedSmith, LLP out of California to defend the Lawsuit. BSN takes pride in the products which it has produced over the years. Many of those who have used BSN’s products, including those products involved in the lawsuit, have attested to how well the products have worked for them. BSN disagrees with all claims being made and will vigorously defend all such claims and allegations.

Bio-Engineered Supplements & Nutrition, Inc. is a leading developer, marketer, provider and distributor of nutritional supplements designed for training, physique, and performance. BSN’s innovative and effective products include NITRIX®, NO-XPLODETM, CELLMASS®, LEAN DESSERT PROTEINTM, SYNTHA-6®, TRUE-MASS®, AXIS-HTTM, CHEATERSTM, THERMONEXTM, ATRO-PHEX® AND ENDORUSHTM.
