MusclePharm and ThermoLife Head to Court with Dueling Lawsuits!

[The Solution]

As reported on Medium, ThermoLife International LLC, owned by Ron Kramer, filed suit against MusclePharm on January 15, 2016 in Arizona state court. ThermoLife alleges that MusclePharm has failed to meet minimum purchase requirements for their patented Amino Nitrates (like Creatine Nitrate), as well as failing to pay the appropriate royalty fees for use of the amino nitrates.

That's not where things end though. MusclePharm filed a countersuit on March 14,2016 in response to the initial filing by ThermoLife. MP's countersuit claims:

"ThermoLife breached each of its express and implied warranties by supplying to MusclePharm Nitrates that caused product-hardening and "clumping" when incorporated into MusclePharm's products, rendering them unuseable."

Basically, ThermoLife's nitrates caused massive clumping in the supplements during production and ultimatly destroyed $1.2 million in product that was unable to be sold. Additionally, MusclePharm claims that Ron Kramer (owner of ThermoLife, claimed, and made the express warranty, that his Amino nitrates were, "… as natural, safe, and legal as they come…"

However, MusclePharm doesn't seem to agree and has alleged that each express warranty, on every single amino nitrate used, was breached.

If each of these warranties was breached, then the original warranty stating the nitrates are “… as natural, safe, and legal as they come…” was breached. This means that MusclePharm is alleging that Kramer's nitrates are not "...as natural, safe, and legal as they come…”

The fallout of the suit and countersuit could have massive reprecussions for not only MusclePharm and Ron Kramer, but the supplement industry as a whole. Kramer supplies amino nitrates to a number of other supplement companies and if these products also experience the same clumping ThermoLife, and Ron, could be in for a number of major lawsuits. If, however, MusclePharm is on the losing end of the court proceedings, it will just continue the downward spiral the supplement company has been on for almost a year now.

Regardless of the outcome, you can be sure things will get very interesting in the next few months for the supplement industry...

Kramer seems like a gem of a guy

He does like to attack companies over and over and over again.

Is Ron Kramer still married to Gaspari's ex wife Liz? I always thought she was kind of a bitch.

This is a set up for a hostile takeover of MusclePharm by Kramer. Plans are in the works already to retool MusclePharm's product line as well as use the brand to launch a series of cutting edge PHs. Word is the Arnold label is going to be tossed out soon.

MP also sponsored Johnny Manziel. That was a mistake.
