Dozens Sickened Across 28 States by Contaminated “Super Greens” and “Moringa” Products Sold on Amazon, Walmart, and More.

A dangerous Salmonella outbreak has been traced back to contaminated dietary supplements sold under the brand names Live It Up and Why Not Natural. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a nationwide recall after at least 65 people across 28 states reported illness. The Live It Up Super Greens powder and Why Not Natural Moringa Superfood capsules were sold online through Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and the companies’ own websites, reaching households across the country.

Consumers in Wisconsin have been hit the hardest, with 12 confirmed cases and 2 hospitalizations. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Wisconsin is the only state with more than five cases.

The FDA’s recall includes all Live It Up Super Greens powders with lot numbers beginning with “A” and expiration dates from August 2026 through January 2028, as well as Why Not Natural Moringa Green Superfood capsules labeled with lot number A25G051 and an expiration date of July 2028.

What Parker Waichman LLP Found

Our firm is monitoring this expanding outbreak and its legal implications nationwide. Here’s what stands out:

  • Contaminated supplements are sold nationwide via Amazon, Walmart, and more.
  • Salmonella cases reported in 28 states, with Wisconsin hit hardest.
  • Hospitalizations and severe symptoms were reported among victims.
  • Recalled products include specific lots of powders and capsules.
  • Victims may qualify for compensation through product liability lawsuits.

Dangerous Contamination Found in Everyday Wellness Products

The contaminated supplements were marketed as health-boosting superfoods, but for dozens of consumers, these products became the source of severe illness. Salmonella is a bacteria that causes gastrointestinal infection, and symptoms can range from mild stomach upset to life-threatening dehydration and hospitalization.

The most common symptoms include:

  • Diarrhea
  • High fever (over 102°F)
  • Severe stomach cramps
  • Vomiting
  • Blood in the stool
  • Dizziness and signs of dehydration (dry mouth, low urine output)

Symptoms typically appear 12 to 72 hours after exposure and can last up to a week. While most healthy adults may recover without treatment, those with weaker immune systems, young children, and older adults are at much greater risk of serious complications.

National Lawsuits Expected: Product Liability and Consumer Safety

When a manufacturer distributes contaminated products that harm consumers, the legal system provides a path to justice through product liability claims. Supplement companies are required to meet federal safety standards, and when they fail to detect, prevent, or promptly recall tainted products, they may be held financially responsible for the harm caused.

Victims may be eligible to recover compensation for:

  • Hospital and medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost income or missed work
  • Long-term health complications
  • Emotional distress
  • Punitive damages in certain cases

If you or a family member took either of these recalled products and experienced symptoms of Salmonella infection, you may have the right to pursue legal action.

FAQs: Superfood Supplement Salmonella Lawsuits

What is the basis for a lawsuit involving contaminated supplements?

When a product causes illness due to contamination, consumers may bring product liability claims. These suits allege that the product was defective or dangerous and that the manufacturer failed to warn consumers or detect the hazard.

How do I know if my illness came from a recalled supplement?

If you took a recalled product and later developed salmonella symptoms, a law firm can help trace the timing, symptoms, and confirm your diagnosis. Medical records and product lot numbers are key evidence.

Can I still file a lawsuit if I no longer have the product?

Yes. While having the actual product helps, your case can still be built using receipts, packaging photos, online purchase history, or witness testimony about the use of the supplement.

What compensation is available for Salmonella victims?

Victims may be entitled to payment for medical costs, hospital stays, lost wages, ongoing care, and pain and suffering. In some cases, class action or mass tort claims may be filed if enough people are affected.

Is there a deadline to file a Salmonella supplement claim?

Yes, each state has a time limit called a statute of limitations. It’s best to speak with an attorney right away so your claim is preserved. Parker Waichman LLP handles cases in all 50 states.
