Class action lawsuits against Biote’s Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) focus on claims that the company misleads customers with false promises. The lawsuits argue that Biote tells people they can get their hormone levels back to what they were in their 20s and 30s, which many associate with feeling their best. However, the people suing claim that Biote’s treatments actually raise hormone levels to unnatural and possibly dangerous amounts that don’t naturally occur in the body.
The 4 main allegations
Biote faces several class action lawsuits, with plaintiffs seeking compensation for damages resulting from the alleged misrepresentations and health risks:
- False advertising: One major complaint is that Biote wrongly advertises the benefits of its hormone therapy. The company says its treatments can make people feel more energetic, happier and healthier by bringing hormone levels back to those of a younger age. But the plaintiffs argue these claims are misleading because the hormone levels from Biote’s treatments are artificially high and not like natural youthful levels.
- Health risks: Another big concern is the health risks from these unnaturally high hormone levels. High hormone levels can cause serious health problems, like heart disease and cancer. The people suing claim that Biote doesn’t properly warn customers about these risks, putting their health in danger.
- Lack of scientific proof: The lawsuits argue that Biote’s claims aren’t backed by strong scientific evidence. They say there’s not enough proof that Biote’s hormone therapy can safely and effectively restore hormone levels to those of a younger age, which makes their advertising less believable.
- Deceptive practices: The lawsuits also claim that Biote tricks customers about what its treatments can really do. They allege that Biote hides the true effects and risks of its hormone therapy.
These lawsuits aim to make Biote answer for its marketing and to get compensation for those affected.
