Warning: Use Vibrant at your own risk

[DaneGer21]

Three words: Class action lawsuit.

Yeah, I’d love to get back my $15 from years ago LOL

I could care less about the overpriced bottle of Vibrant. I'm more concerned about the cancerous effects of algaecide that there was zero mention of on the packaging.

And I'm pretty sure there are more than a few unhappy reefers who've suffered thousands of dollars in coral losses, so to them the $15 bottle of Vibrant is the tip of the iceberg...

Is it possible they hired the slowest reading lawyers man has ever known

Imagine there was a vegetarian restaurant serving what they called the most revolutionary plant based meat ever. It's tastes and looks exactly like the real thing, but is 3x more expensive. This is perfect, you love red meat but are philosophically opposed to it and are concerned about long term health risks. This becomes your new favorite restaurant and you recommend it to all your vegetarian friends and family who also start eating there.

Fast forward years later and you find out there was no revolutionary plant based meat, it was really just cheap cuts of red meat with an insane markup.

Would you be fine with this because the food tasted good and filled you up?

Also @UWC the lack of any updates by now is absolutely shameful and a slap in the face to the hobbyists that have supported your small business over the years. Have your lawyers craft the statement if needed. You owe the community an explanation.

What were we discussing again

We were discussing products that worked.

10 worst drug recalls in history | Medical Error Action Group

www.medicalerroraustralia.com

"DES was prescribed for more than 30 years to prevent miscarriages and other complications during pregnancy. It was not until 1971 before it was connected to a rare tumor that kept appearing in the daughters of women who had taken it."

"Fen-Phen’s was a hugely popular weight loss drug, its popularity peaking in the 1990s. It is estimated that as many as 6.5 million people took it to help fight obesity. After consumers began experiencing heart disease and other pulmonary problems, the FDA set the recall in motion. "

"Seldane was a popular antihistamine brought to market in 1985 to treat allergies without causing drowsiness. The FDA sought a recall from the manufacturer after cases of cardiac arrhythmia (abnormal electrical activity in the heart) appeared in patients taking Seldane with other drugs."

"In only one year on the market, Posicor was linked to 123 deaths. Considered relatively safe when taken alone, Posicor became potentially deadly when combined with any of 25 different drugs."

"Rezulin, an anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory drug, was eventually found to be causally connected with hepatitis."

" The study estimated that 1 woman might have a stroke due to phenylpropanolamine for every 107,000 to 3,268,000 women who use products containing phenylpropanolamine as an appetite suppressant within a three-day window. "

"Baycol, prescribed to patients as a treatment for high cholesterol, is reportedly responsible for more than 100,000 deaths and about as many lawsuits. "

"Vioxx, prescribed to more than 20 million people as a pain reliever for arthritis, was found to be responsible for increased risk of heart attack and stroke. "

If Vibrant is your concern about cancer; you must not get out much…

My bad I did not realize I wandered into a JAMA discussion....carry on I am not qualified to comment. ;Peeking

Not likely cancer, but a boatload of other issues. You might even be breaking the law using it if you send it down a drain after a water change.

How there is a baffling number of people who are totally fine being misled and lied to and that ends justify literally any means.

Unfortunately this isn’t what I was referring to. If you see what I responded to you would get it

It’s not that we are ok with it, it’s what the heck are you gonna do about it at this point?

ok stop buying it, cool. Then what?

a class action was mentioned, for what, a few dollars?

After almost 50 pages I just keep seeing the same things, “BUT BUT BUT, I WAS LIED TO”

 

[BrianAnthony]

I've read a bunch of posts on here... Any person who says it worked for them and they would buy it again even though the product is misrepresented and the company lied... Should go see a therapist. If you want Algaefix then buy algaefix. It's cheaper and it doesn't support a company who lied to you and your fellow hobbyists.

Can I have your bank routing number so I can send you my bill?

You're borderline trolling at this point. At the very least, you haven't offered anything beyond heckling from the sidelines.

I say it's potentially cancerous and you imply that I don't get out much, which given everything that's gone on for the past few years isn't really saying much. I point out that some reefers have lost their entire tank and you keep harping over the apparently cheap price of a bottle of Vibrant.

I've yet to use the ignore feature, but man you went out of your way to earn it.
