"DR. PHIL'S" DIET DILEMMA
Television therapist "Dr. Phil" McGraw stated in e-mails that he had "no expertise" in making the diet pills he endorsed, according to court filings alleging the TV psychologist made false statements about the products.
McGraw's "The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom" was his move into the lucrative weight loss market in 2003 with a campaign that included advice books, a prime time special with NBC's Katie Couric on dieting and his "Shape Up with Dr. Phil" products.
Shape up shakes, bars and multivitamins made by Irving Texas based CSA Nutraceuticals were sold in supermarkets, Target, Wal-Mart and elsewhere.
The plan recommended 22 pills a day at an average cost of $120. per month.
CSA Nutraceuticals agreed to stop making the supplements early last year as it faced a Federal Trade Commission investigation into false-advertising concerns.
