About Anna Nicole Smith
The former Playboy playmate has been making headlines since her days as wife to oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall. Following his death, she seemed constant fodder for tabloids, as she sought to claim her inheritance. She continued to keep her name alive in the spotlight by participating in her own reality show on E! Following her reality series, she took TrimSpa and emerged some months later as a thinner silhouette of her former self. She took on the role as spokeswoman for the product, putting her own distinctive spin on the product’s tagline: “TrimSpa baby!”
More recent headlines included the sudden death of her son, the birth of her daughter, and the debate over the father of her newborn.
The Lawsuit
Three women have filed suit in Los Angeles, accusing TrimSpa and Anna Nicole Smith of “using deceptive business practices” to sell the product, a violation of California’s unfair competition law. They also claim that they were injured as a result of using the product, although no details have been revealed about the injuries they endured. The women seek unspecified damages, are requesting an injunction to halt the marketing of TrimSpa, and ask that other unsatisfied customers get a refund.
Anna Nicole Smith's Death
Anna Nicole Smith died just two days after this TrimSpa article was posted. Smith collapsed in a Florida hotel and died shortly thereafter. She was just 39 years old.
