Seeger Weiss has been appointed interim Co-Lead Counsel and interim Lead Settlement Counsel in In re Huel Heavy Metal Litigation, a consolidated consumer class action pending in the Eastern District of New York.

The litigation alleges that Huel, Inc. and Huel, Ltd. engaged in fraudulent marketing of their “Huel Black Edition” protein powder product.

As interim Co-Lead Counsel, Seeger Weiss will coordinate all phases of the consolidated action, including discovery, and pretrial proceedings.
