We can all agree that NFL apparel is expensive.  A new lawsuit against the NFL claims that antitrust violations are a big part of the reason.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against the National Football League (NFL) and sports merchandise leader Fanatics in a Manhattan federal court. An Illinois resident accuses the NFL and its 32 teams of conspiring with Fanatics, based in Jacksonville, Florida, to monopolize the online retail market for licensed sports merchandise like jerseys and t-shirts. The suit claims this has led to consumers paying artificially high prices due to stifled competition.

The lawsuit alleges that instead of engaging in competitive sales, the NFL and its teams have effectively given Fanatics exclusive control over the market, with the sports merchandise company sharing its monopoly profits with the teams. This arrangement is said to have disadvantaged other retailers.

About Vaginal Mesh Implants

Vaginal mesh, also known as transvaginal mesh, represents a specific type of surgical mesh implant utilized to reinforce and bolster weakened or injured tissue during surgical procedures. These mesh products are tailored for female pelvic reconstructive surgeries, commonly performed to address pelvic organ prolapse and/or stress urinary incontinence. These conditions arise due to the weakening of pelvic muscles, allowing organs such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum to descend into the vaginal area. Surgical intervention aims to repair and fortify these weakened pelvic muscles.

Cheryl Caldwell has filed a class action lawsuit against Nordic Naturals, Inc., alleging deceptive labeling practices regarding their product “Ultimate® Omega 2X.”

Caldwell claims the “2X” designation misleads consumers into believing that the product contains twice the omega-3 content of Nordic Naturals’ “Ultimate® Omega” product. Contrary to this implication, “Ultimate Omega 2X” contains 2150 mg of omega-3 per serving, not the 2560 mg that would represent double the “Ultimate Omega” product’s 1280 mg. Caldwell argues that this discrepancy results in the product having 16% less omega-3 than what is suggested by the “2X” label.  Let’s all admit that 16% less is not “2X” but it is not that far off, right?  But still, I get it. Misleading is misleading.
