The 22-page lawsuit contends that Jocko falsely advertises that its protein powder products are a source of “CLEAN FUEL” when they actually contain more than 2.5 times the Maximum Allowable Dose Level for reproductive toxicity of lead, which is 0.5 micrograms (mcg) per day, as outlined by California’s Proposition 65 statute.

Specifically, the case claims that a single 34-gram serving of the Chocolate Milkshake Jocko Protein Powder Mölk Protein Blend at issue contains 1.326 mcg of lead. This figure was allegedly ascertained in January 2025 through independent testing commissioned by the plaintiff’s counsel at an accredited laboratory that used methodology approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Many health agencies, including the World Health Organization, outline that there is “no level of exposure to lead that is known to be without harmful effects,” the complaint cites. Per the lawsuit, lead exposure over time can lead to “severe health risks,” including impaired neurological function, organ damage, anemia, seizures, and in extreme cases, coma and death.

The lawsuit charges that Jocko has deliberately misrepresented the health properties of its protein powder by prominently promoting its  “CLEAN” identity on its label, including representations that it is naturally sweetened and contains few ingredients, to obscure the presence of any lead that may be in its product.

“Defendant’s failure to disclose the lead in the Products, in light of the label Representations, deprives consumers of making an informed choice between protein products available in the marketplace,” the case argues.

The plaintiff, a California resident, says he purchased the Chocolate Milkshake Jocko protein powder on “numerous occasions” from Amazon.com for roughly $48 per unit. Had the plaintiff known of the alleged lead levels in the Jocko product, he would not have purchased it or would have purchased it “on different terms,” the complaint relays.

In sum, the lawsuit argues that Jocko “has an improper motive—to derive financial gain at the expense of accuracy or truthfulness—in its practices related to the labeling and advertising of the Products.”

The Jocko protein powder class action lawsuit seeks to represent all California residents who, within the four years prior to the filing of this complaint on February 9, 2026, purchased Jocko’s Protein Powder Mölk Protein Blend in the Chocolate Milkshake flavor in California and do not claim any personal injury from consuming it.
