The Phiten Necklaces and Bracelets suit is being brought against the Japanese company for selling a product that has been causing headaches and pain for many customers. It is a popular body care brand used by athletes and other top athletes to improve their well-being. It is estimated that over 300 professional baseball players and scores of other athletes are fans of the product. Phiten necklaces typically range in price from $25 to $40. Now, the company is making them in the colors of Major League Baseball teams.

Placebo effect
It’s hard to know if the Phiten Necklaces and Bracelets litigation is a placebo effect. The company website makes no mention of scientific proof, only testimonials from users who claim to experience health benefits from Phiten. The manufacturer of the necklaces and bracelets is not responsible for any harm caused by the product unless it has made an intentional mistake.
False advertising
You’ve heard of the Phiten necklace and bracelet craze – but do they work? Despite the hype, there is almost no research backing their claims. A professor at Connecticut College and the author of Believing in Magic: The Psychology of Superstition, Stuart Vyse, says that it doesn’t. The necklace has been associated with athletes in the U.S. and regular people in Asia.
False claims
In 2011, the company settled a class-action lawsuit over false claims about its products. The lawsuit found that the company had made false claims about the health benefits of its products, including that it relieves pain and promotes energy. The company is not even allowed to advertise its products as “miracle” cures for disease or pain, despite the FDA’s approval of the products.
Metals dissolved in water
The plaintiffs in a new Phiten necklaces and bracelets lawsuit are suing the Japanese company for false claims regarding the health benefits of wearing their jewelry. While the metals in the jewelry are technically dissolved, they are not the components of the solution. Trace metals in water are separated by several natural processes. However, no documented process keeps the metal-water compound stable as the manufacturers claim.
Titanium spheres
A new phase in the technology of titanium jewelry has led to a class action lawsuit by consumers and the Society for Aqua Metal Research. This innovative new technology enables titanium to be dissolved in water. The most common AQUA-METAL used by Phiten is Aqua Titanium, which permeates into fabric products. The titanium spheres in the Phiten necklaces and bracelets lawsuit are made of new material, called Aqua Titanium, which is completely water-soluble.
Carbonized Titanium
The Carbonized Titanium Chain Bracelet from Phiten is a striking piece of jewelry, made of 100 percent pure titanium and carbonized titanium coating. This bracelet is lightweight and rust-proof, with a classic aesthetic in mind. The bracelet matches the Carbonized Titanium Chain Necklace perfectly, with the “P” logo closure clasp. While the necklace looks like a rubber bracelet, it contains Carbonized Titanium and Micro-Titanium Spheres.
Electric charge
A new class action lawsuit against the manufacturer of Phiten Necklaces and Bracelets claims that the jewelry contains an electrical charge that is supposed to improve body energy and relieve pain. The company says the necklaces and bracelets are great for athletics, counter fatigue, and accelerate recovery. While there is no scientific evidence to support the claims made by the company, Phiten is popular among professional athletes. Many consumers report improved blood circulation and more energy.
