JURY RETURNS SUBSTANTIAL VERDICT FOR MAN WITH NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER FROM TAMPERED SUPPLEMENT

 

Aaron and Rickie Taylor vs. Showa Denko Co., et al.
11th Circuit, Miami-Dade County, Florida

 

Our client thought he would improve his health by taking L-Tryptophan, an amino acid supplement sold in health food stores. What he did not know, however, was that the L-Tryptophan sold to him in this bottle had been contaminated at the factory in Japan. As a result, instead of improving his health, our client got very sick with a neurological disorder.  By agreement with the attorneys for the L-Tryptophan manufacturer we tried this case to an arbitration panel who, at the conclusion of the trial, returned a substantial verdict for our client.
