They were gummies that would make you lose weight. In reality, it didn't work, and one grandmother from Atlanta was poisoned after eating those. She died and was left obese. Fortunately, the company who made the gummies, Happy Smiles Inc., went out of business.

This is why I always say go all natural and don't fall for these gimmicks. Weight loss isn't a quick fix, it's a lifestyle change. Until we start promoting healthier habits instead of 'magic' solutions, more people are gonna fall for scams like these. Condolences to the family of the victim, hope they find justice.

Let's break it down. From what I remember, Happy Smiles Inc. was a fairly notorious company which had a pattern of releasing sub-par and often dangerous supplements under the guise of 'health benefits'. The weight loss gummies were their most infamous item. Marketed as a miracle weight loss solution, these gummies were quick to catch the eye of desperate consumers. Main ingredient? A lesser-known plant extract considered 'natural' but also known to be highly unpredictable and sometimes toxic when consumed in large quantities.
The tragic case in question involved an older woman (60s) from Atlanta who was in dire need of weight loss due to severe obesity. Unfortunately, she was drawn in by the too-good-to-be-true promises of Happy Smiles Inc. Not long after starting her regimen of the gummies, her health took a major downturn. The woman later succumbed to the effects of the gummy supplement.
This incident was the nail in the coffin for Happy Smiles Inc. The aftermath was a flurry of lawsuits, leading to their closure. Sadly, this story reminds us - if it's too good to be true, it probable is.
