| Several 1986-2014 Malibu boat models are under scrutiny amid allegations they were defectively designed. A lawsuit has been filed in light of the company’s 2023 safety alert that stated some models may be susceptible to “bow swamping” and that passengers should not ride in the bow area, thus reducing the boats’ capacity by at least two passengers. Now, attorneys working with ClassAction.org want to speak with more boat owners and lessees to help strengthen the case. Several different models are included in the investigation, so for a full list and further details, head to this page. |

| Poppi prebiotic sodas recently skyrocketed in popularity as a “gut-healthy” product, but a recently filed lawsuit is claiming that the products contain only a meager amount of prebiotic fiber. The case states that an amount of prebiotic fiber that low (only two grams) cannot provide any meaningful health benefits from just one can. In fact, the lawsuit argues that to realize any gut health benefits, a person would need to drink four cans of Poppi soda daily for 21 consecutive days. You can read up on the allegations being made here. |
