Government Says Spider-Man Must Pay For Deceiving Children

Government Says Spider-Man Must Pay For Deceiving ChildrenOkay, okay, not Spider-Man per se. But Marvel licensee NBTY, Inc for making deceptive claims about the amount of DHA – an Omega-3 fatty acid – used in their line of Marvel Heroes-licensed children's multivitamins

As well as unsupported claims that a daily serving of the products promotes healthy brain and eye development in children.

The packaging touted the purported health benefits of 100 milligrams of DHA, but  a daily serving of the multivitamins contained only one thousandth of that amount.

The company must refund $2.1 million to customers. So if you bought aby of these (and, you know, they are still on sale), you could get a refund.
