Costco faces a class-action lawsuit alleging its Orgain Organic Plant-Based Protein Powder contains harmful levels of arsenic, cadmium, and lead, which were not disclosed to consumers. The lawsuit claims Costco misled buyers by marketing the product as "good clean fuel" and charging premium prices without warning about the toxic metals. Independent tests and investigations by Consumer Reports found these metals exceed safe levels, posing serious health risks. Plaintiffs seek damages and a court order for disclosure, while the product remains on sale without recalls.
