The brand is famous for trying and promoting unusual practices and goop has even landed in legal hot water because of it.
According to E! News, back in 2018, the company was taken to court over their claim that yoni eggs could "balance hormones, regulate menstrual cycles, prevent uterine prolapse, and increase bladder control," among other benefits.
However, the eggs – which are meant to be inserted into the vagina - did not have the results the company reported.
The lifestyle brand was then forced to pay $145 000 (over R2 million) in civil penalties and according to court documents were "barred from making any claims regarding the efficacy of its products without possessing competent and reliable scientific evidence, and from manufacturing or selling any misbranded, unapproved, or falsely-advertised medical devices."
