Farron Cousins:Most people think when they buy a product that contains some kind of stem cell, that theyre getting a top of the line product that is definitely going to work. After all, we all know the benefits of stem cells. They have been involved in countless medical breakthroughs even up to this day. So yeah, consumers across the planet would love to buy a product containing stem cells, but unfortunately theres different kinds of stem cells and that has now gotten one company, Peter Thomas Roth, in quite a bit of trouble with a new lawsuit.

Joining me now to explain this is Scott Hardy with Top Class Actions and Scott, yeah, everybody wants to get their hands on products with stem cells, especially in this case, anti-aging creams because you assume you put that on your face with these stem cells, its obviously gonna do some really great things because stem cells can do that. But as I mentioned, different kinds of stem cells here. You know, this isnt the human stem cells. This is something else, isnt it?

Scott Hardy:Thats right. You have Peter Thomas Roth and their anti-aging products, which are promising, according to this glass action, some amazing results. And with these stem cells, they, you know, like you said, you hear stem cells, you say, oh, I could rub this in. Stem cells are magical. They will make me look younger. Itll be great. Well, in this they had their Rose Stem Gel products, the Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Gel products, which have stem cells from roses. Now, Im not quite sure how that helps us as humans, but according to Peter Thomas Roth and their marketing agreements, these stem cells can have anti-aging and restorative benefits. But as like a lot of these class actions, the class actions saying that theres no science behind it that supports that. They also have their Water Drench line and the Water Drench line says that it draws moisture from the atmosphere into the users skin.

I mean, that is special and claims that the product will hold a thousand times its weight in water and provide hydration up to 72 hours. But again, unfortunately according to this class action, theres just no science to back it up. So you have these folks that are buying these products, hoping that it will help clear away their wrinkles, restore their face. You know, any age marks theyll, thats going to help, thats going to help them disappear with these Rose stem cells and this amazing Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench. But the science isnt backing it up is what the plaintiff attorneys are saying.

Farron Cousins:Well, and that, you know, makes total sense because human stem cells work because theyre cells that are not necessarily programmed for a specific function. So when you put them in the body, when you put them in a certain part of the body, they will kind of take on the role that the other cells in that area do. For example, you have a damaged liver and you get injected with stem cells in the liver, they will become or can become, excuse me, liver cells. So you would think if youre putting stem cells on your face, theyre going to become human skin cells. But you cant do that with a different, I mean, were not even talking about a different animal here. Were talking about a different organism all together. Roses, Im sorry, but human cells cannot bond with plant cells like that.

I mean, that, thats not a thing that is even scientifically possible. Maybe somewhere in the future were going to be able to merge with plants, I doubt it, but this company is saying, no, no, no. A stem cell is a stem cell, right? This is going to do well for you. And then I got to say with this Water Drench product, this would be a miracle product all around the world. You know, help your body draw in moisture from just the air. Oh my God, think of the problems we could solve. This, this, this truly is snake oil in my opinion, reading this, looking at these complaints, this stuff is pure snake oil, man.

Scott Hardy:Yeah, I mean thats what were seeing here. Were getting a bunch of comments on this. People that have bought these products and didnt see any results, and thats the big problem is that if youre going to promise these results, if youre going to say that we have this special benefit, we have these special ingredients that make our product amazing, then it needs to deliver. And you have to have studies that back that up. You have to be able to say, hey, these are folks that used the Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Gel and this is the benefits that they saw and, you know, all of these claims about the stem cells and the extra hydration. There has to be some science instead of just thinking, well maybe itll work and then putting on their box and selling it.

Farron Cousins:Well and, you know this, this should be a fairly easy one for the lawyers here to prove. I mean, they can look and see if there is in fact any science to back any of this up. Obviously theres past customers to see if theres anything here. So hopefully this is going to be a slam dunk for the lawyers thats going to result in a pretty decent settlement for the people whove been using these products regularly. Again, when its based on science, science is either there or its not. So again, hopefully this is fairly easy and, you know, if it is, this could be one of those ones that settles probably long before it actually makes it to a trial.

Scott Hardy:Exactly. Now, unless your face is actually part rosebud, then maybe that really would help have a, a real positive impact. But I dont know anybody, even if they smell nice, that it might help with.
