Anyone who bought supplements from GNC.
What's Going On?
GNC was sued in October 2015 by the Oregon Attorney General for allegedly selling workout and fat-burner supplements that contain two synthetic drugs. In light of these reports, attorneys working with ClassAction.org are now investigating whether a class action can be filed.

The Oregon Attorney General’s office has sued GNC saying that the store sold thousands of fat-burning and workout supplements that contain the illegal and synthetic drugs picamilon and BMPEA. Picamilon is reportedly a prescription drug in Russia used to treat neurological conditions, while BMPEA is a chemical similar to amphetamine. The lawsuit claims that GNC knew or should have known about these potentially unsafe and illegal ingredients and misrepresented the products as lawful dietary supplements.
