A bottle of penis pills, of the highest quality, meaning it has a viagra like effect and people will keep buying it, is manufactured at a cost usually >$2.
so you get sued, you settle and move onto the next product and repeat.
There are legitimate companies out there where their claims are 100% legitimate and do things ethically.
back to the penis pill thing. L-arginine, which is a major viagra like stimulate, needs to be at 1000mg+ to be effective, which is technically dangerous.
Kong is one of the best formulas, we copied it basically. We do recurring billing and have a retention of 6 months on the average, meaning people are satisfied with the product. There are ingredients that are proven to give users a better sense of well being, a positive mental outlook etc.
Trimspa is an excellent example of a reputable product. Their success isn't based on false promises. Their product delivers what is advertised. Making these types of products is costly, an average of 25k just to have one formulated, labels,and minimum po's to satisfy factories. You can pay less for herbs from china and have a product cheaply manufactured to increase margins but the long term success I believe is in not cutting corners. It makes no difference if you're paying 1.50 per unit of low quality, or $3 per unit using the best.
basically, have some science, have legit doctors behind your products, and some ethics, and you should be ok.
Any time a product reaches mass distribution you will inevitably get sued. There is no shortage of people willing to fuck you.

Good info, thanks man.
I wasnt inquiring into the "does it do what it says" question, as much as the "What are the legal ramifications of selling something that people swallow and could fuck 'em up" question ... but you answered both pretty well.
The thing that got me really thinking about this is the fact that "Pill Sponsors" seem to be popping up every day lately ... and wondering if they have the financial means to save their asses if they ever fuck someone over medically.
