When did this happen?. I was going to post in there that the USP LABS site seems to have been down for the past 2 days. Anyway, since when did this change happen?
Could you elaborate on that?. Just interested why. Did something happen with one of their products?They left all boards due to legal reasons. USPLabs Powders is coming back soon though....
So, despite having 'does not constitute medical advice,' or any additional disclaimer in place does not protect people anymore in an online environment? I can't use "I'm not a doctor, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express," anymore then for fear of legal action? If anything I could see this as being potentially damaging to the community as a whole by silencing members who have a lot of knowledge to contribute but won't due to potential legal ramifications. Thank you ambulance chasers and the 'Sue Nation.'Has nothing to do with products, and more to do with lawyers telling you to shut up...these days, anything online can be used against you....even if its completely harmless in our eyes.
This excites me Any news on if it's something new or just a restock? Miss all the awesome promos between USP and NP...They left all boards due to legal reasons. USPLabs Powders is coming back soon though....
Has nothing to do with it. I represent doctors, lawyers, CPAs and hospitals and always tell my client's to stay away from net and delete everything they can from social networking sites and forums. People say stupid things and get the incredibly genius idea of running legal theories and factual scenarios by others and than start altering their rendition of the facts based on lay internet perception. People who claim grievous injuries get on the net and talk about partying, wakeboarding, surfing, fighting, and other modes of conduct inconsistent with their injuries. People also have a tendency to divulge facts that either the opposing side may not previously consider or that may be otherwise inadmissible. Don't lie or alter your story and things would be fine.So, despite having 'does not constitute medical advice,' or any additional disclaimer in place does not protect people anymore in an online environment?

I believe it is a "Personal injury / Product liability" lawsuit.I know he got banned on bb forum but I didn't even notice they were gone. I wonder what are they in trouble for?
He wasn't "banned" in the normal sense. This was all voluntary on their part.I know he got banned on bb forum but I didn't even notice they were gone. I wonder what are they in trouble for?
Those are the money beets.these days, anything online can be used against you
I'll respond once I translate this!!!Has nothing to do with it.

A company can subject itself to a litany of problems by availing itself to this relatively inexpensive medium of advertisement. One example is notice of a dangerous or defective condition if they are on a forum fielding complaints and defending a product yet they do nothing to remedy the problem. Product liability claims are inherently expensive to pursue and companies rarely settle these without a huge fight regardless as to the merit. Accordingly, plaintiff's lawyers are exceedingly reluctant to file even meritorious cases due to expense and most valid claims never get pursued because the damages may not be sufficiently large to warrant the expense of pursuing. You have been listening to too many politicians with hidden agendas and individuals who are actually ignorant about the process. Something like 90 percent of valid medical malpractice claims are never pursued due to expense and other factors I rather not discuss. Nevertheless, you hear people claim there is a problem with frivolous medical malpractice litigation. The truth is people making such statements are either intellectually dishonest or just unaware of reality. Again, I represent the doctors and hospitals and I can say this without hesitation.
that is my understanding at well; personal choice.He wasn't "banned" in the normal sense. This was all voluntary on their part.
You'd think they'd have to drop their ridiculous "The federal government is trying to close us down for how effective Pink Magic is" advertising horse crap too then.Could you elaborate on that?. Just interested why. Did something happen with one of their products?
Agreedthey are missed
Link me .... NOWWWWW! hehe God I love feud threads with Jacob. Pure comedy :-DYou gotta admit that Jacob most certainly knew how to hype and cause a stir. I still love the thread feud between Jacob and Chuck. Friggin hilarious

It seems like there are too many thoughts going on in this statement. While I believe that you should not take anything as fact or truth from an online medium, I cannot help but think that it can be the grounds for inspiration or new ideas. If this 'scenario' you have drawn up started with a half-thought hypothesis (legal theroies and factual scenarios) and reaches a 1+1=3 conclusion (altered rendition of facts) then that would hopefully be brought up as a point of debate on the topic. We are not building a better mouse trap or an artificial heart, we are merely thinking out-loud regarding an industry in which we all have great interest.Has nothing to do with it.

That sounds more of an issue of an amoral individudal trying to buck the system.People who claim grievous injuries get on the net and talk about partying, wakeboarding, surfing, fighting, and other modes of conduct inconsistent with their injuries.
So what you are saying is that this makes the lawyers job harder because the Internet it holding people accountable to a higher standard of honesty? If we could be so lucky.People also have a tendency to divulge facts that either the opposing side may not previously consider or that may be otherwise inadmissible. Don't lie or alter your story and things would be fine.
I see what you are saying here but how could someone prove that they are not attempting to remedy the problem? Would timestamps of postings versus when emails are sent to staff informing of need for correction? This creates another issue with forums.A company can subject itself to a litany of problems by availing itself to this relatively inexpensive medium of advertisement. One example is notice of a dangerous or defective condition if they are on a forum fielding complaints and defending a product yet they do nothing to remedy the problem.
I will yield that point, I was merely frustrated and soap-boxing. The members of the company in question here were a very knowledgeable group and I feel that this community has lost some genuine thinkers because of this situation.Product liability claims are inherently expensive to pursue and companies rarely settle these without a huge fight regardless as to the merit.
