Comparable settlements $90M–$586M median $90M · n=10 Western Union $586M · Toyota Industries $436M · Credit Glory $200M Comparable verdict: Papaya $420M · VPX, Inc. $293M Key precedent: Guthrie v. Transamerica Life Ins. Co. — denial of class cert affirmed due to individualized reliance issues, a real risk for a small supplement seller's ad claims. Main risk: Class certification denial on individualized reliance/causation grounds, as in Guthrie, given varied marketing claims across patch products. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $30K–$2.25M Small defendant with no prior litigation history; settlement comparables are far larger companies, so figures are heavily scaled down and speculative. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 9 verdicts | Filing | False Advertising | E.D.
