GapMajor

No published heavy metals testing or COAs despite transparency branding

Naked Nutrition does not publish heavy metals testing results, Certificates of Analysis, or independent lab verification. No NSF, USP, ConsumerLab, or Clean Label Project certifications. Notable contradiction: brand built on "Only One Ingredient" transparency while Naked Mass has the highest lead contamination Consumer Reports has tested.

LawsuitMajor

Second class action: heavy metals in Mass Gainer (Caballero v. Naked Whey)

Caballero v. Naked Whey Inc. (2:25-at-01437, E.D. Cal.). Alleges Naked Mass Vegan Mass Gainer contains 7.7 mcg lead per serving (1,570% of Consumer Reports threshold). Product marketed as "premium" with "nothing to hide" and "verified for purity."

LabCritical

Consumer Reports: highest lead in protein category (1,570% of concern level)

Consumer Reports October 2025 testing found Naked Mass Gainer contained 7.7 μg lead per serving — 1,570% of concern level and the highest lead finding in the entire Consumer Reports protein powder testing report. This is 15.4x the California Prop 65 daily safe harbor threshold of 0.5 μg.

Prop 65Major

4 separate Prop 65 notices over 7 years (2018-2025) — chronic pattern

Four separate Prop 65 notices filed against Naked Whey Inc: 2018 (lead + Amazon), 2019 (settlement reached), Feb 2024 (lead in Ella beauty protein), Oct 2024 (lead + mercury, later withdrawn), plus 2025 supplemental notice. Pattern indicates chronic inability to control heavy metal levels.
