Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler partners Joshua Kipnees and Steven A. Zalesin have stepped in to defend J&J subsidiary Zarbee’s Inc. in a pending consumer class action. The suit, filed Aug. 2 in California Northern District Court by Dovel & Luner, alleges that Zarbee’s over-the-counter melatonin supplements contain twice the amount of melatonin labeled on the packaging, leading to unwanted side effects such as headaches, nausea and drowsiness. Zarbee’s is also backed by Gary T. Lafayette of Lafayette & Kumagai. The case, assigned to U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer, is 3:22-cv-04465, Lopez v. Zarbee’s, Inc.
