The Central Coast Nutraceutical, Inc. settlement reached to an amount of 1.375 million dollars. 1 million will go to civil penalties to the state of Arizona, 350 thousand dollars to for consumer restitution and 25 thousand dollars for the investigative and legal costs. Consumer fraud lawsuit was filed against the mentioned company because of its misleading marketing of Acai products. The company offers the Acai pills at a low cost but secretly includes several costly products and services in the billing of Acai products without the consent of the consumer. This caused uproar among its customers that resulted to filing of the lawsuit.

Thus, if you are planning to use Acai food supplements because of its many health benefits and you are planning of purchasing it online, be wary with the provider you are going to choose. Some are just riding the hype of Acai products in order to swindle consumers. Usually these are the ones that offer “free” things in order to entice people into signing up with the offer. However, not all providers of this wondrous product are scammers. Finding a good provider will ensure that you can fully enjoy the benefits of Acai.
