JEC Nutrition, marketers of South African hoodia supplement H57 has sued CPMC, marketers of a competing hoodia supplement product that goes by the name X57, for trademark infringement.
In an interesting twist related to a prior post on this blog, actor Joe Gannascoli, who plays Vito on the Sopranos, is now endorsing H57. Perhaps this has something to do with Gannascoli being dropped as the spokesman for Stacker 2?
Complaint, JEC Nutrition v. CPMC, District of New Jersey.
