Plaintiffs, health-conscious buyers who trusted Costco’s quality, say they’d never pay premium prices for a product they didn’t know was contaminated. The suit demands compensation and an injunction, citing serious health risks — including cancer and cognitive damage — from long-term exposure. While Orgain insists its products meet safety standards and no recall has been issued, this isn’t Costco’s first brush with legal scrutiny over product quality. The FDA’s hands-off approach on supplements leaves consumers navigating hidden dangers — and this lawsuit could change how retailers handle ingredient transparency.
