IsaLean Weight Loss Lawsuit Overview:
- Who: A B.C. woman filed a lawsuit against Isagenix International.
- Why: Isagenix’s IsaLean line of weight loss products allegedly caused her to suffer chronic pain, an abnormal heart rhythm and other adverse health effects.
- Where: The Isagenix lawsuit was filed in the B.C. Supreme Court.
Isagenix International LLC and Isagenix Canada ULC are facing a lawsuit filed by a B.C. woman who says she suffered chronic pain, an abnormal heart rhythm and other issues after using the companies’ IsaLean weight loss products.
Plaintiff Chera Harris says she had been involved with Isagenix for years, purchasing products and selling them for a commission under the multilevel marketing structure.
In addition to selling Isagenix products, she also personally used IsaLean meal replacement products, according to the lawsuit. In October 2020, Health Canada recalled IsaLean products due to “over-fortification of vitamins.”
Health Canada issued a recall notice in November 2020 for 24 Isagenix products due to “reported illnesses” linked to the products. No further detail was provided in the Isagenix recall notice.
IsaLean Products Caused Adverse Health Effects, Isagenix Lawsuit Alleges
Harris experienced “a significant decrease in her overall health as a result of a chronic overdose of vitamins and minerals,” the IsaLean lawsuit alleges.
Not only did she suffer chronic pain and an abnormal heart rhythm, but Harris also allegedly experienced anxiety, depression,and sleeplessness as a result of using the IsaLean products.
The lawsuit says the Isagenix defendants were negligent in the design, manufacturing, distribution and marketing of the weight loss products.
“Resellers and consumers are entirely reliant on the defendants to ensure the quality of the defendants’ products,” according to the IsaLean lawsuit. “The extent of the unsafe levels of vitamins and minerals in the products was not known and could not have been known by the plaintiff.”
Harris is seeking damages for pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of her life.
Isagenix has reportedly re-released its IsaLean products with “safe levels of vitamins and minerals.”
IsaLean Lawsuit Should be Resolved in Arbitration, Isagenix Says
Isagenix has asked the B.C. Supreme Court for a stay of the proceedings because Harris is bound by an arbitration clause in her contract as a reseller, which requires claims to be resolved through confidential arbitration in Arizona.
Justice Ward Branch disagreed that Harris was bound by the arbitration clause because she was pursuing the IsaLean lawsuit as a consumer and not as a seller.
“A person may obviously be a supplier in one consumer transaction but not in another,” Branch wrote in a Feb. 18 decision.

I am a Isagenix isalean customer. Product helped me lose weight with plenty of exercise. In February 2025 taking product in the morning and at night I woke up one morning to erratic heart beat, blurry vision, headache and could not walk. Rushed to hospital with multitude of test’s performed. Blood work showed all organs inflammation, pre-diabetic , creatine levels and protein levels way over. They had no idea what was the cause. Doctor told me to stop Isagenix and drink water with lemon for two weeks. New blood work came back perfect. Two months later i still have intermittent erratic heart beat , headache, cloudy brain. I had Stress test, echo on heart and carotid arteries checked all good. So i believed Isagenix is ok. Well started new program on Isogenix and had blood work done again this week. My doctor called and said all levels in the red again with alt/ ast , liver enzymes , pre diabetic , kidney function etc out of control again. Well no more. I am flushing my system with water for new blood work next week. This product definitely does not work for me.
I believe this woman had allergic reactions to Isalean Shakes! The protein is grass fed undenatured with Vitamins and minerals as a meal replacement! This shake also has complete essential amino acid profile! I would have to find out what her nutrition exercise and lifestyle was like before coming to any conclusions! I have been using ISA PRO along with many others products for 15 years I am 76 weigh 100 hike work out at gym and enjoy youthful health !
The woman that sued them was an Isabody winner.
