There have been a few lawsuits filed against Angellift, a company that markets and sells Dermastrips, a product they claim can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth. These lawsuits have been consolidated into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

Implications of the Lawsuits
