California Group Claims Tahatian Noni Products Dangerous

deseretnews:

Two Utah companies say their progesterone creams enhance female sex drive or reduce food cravings in women over 40, but a California group lists both as dangerous and is threatening to sue.

The California Women’s Law Center and its executive director, Katherine Buckland, filed a notice last month that it would sue in 60 days if the companies don’t stop selling the products or change their labels to show that progesterone can cause cancer and should only be used with a physician’s advice.

Provo-based Tahitian Noni says its product, Tahiti Trim Plan 40 Body Balance Cream, cuts cravings in women over 40 who want to lose weight. Company spokesman Andre Peterson said the product is safe.

“Tahitian Noni International has received notice about the lawsuit from the woman in California. We are currently looking into the situation but at the current we do not consider her demands to be meritorious.”
