Goop has faced criticism for marketing products and treatments that are harmful, described as "snake oil",[8][9] based on pseudoscience, and lack efficacy. California officials from the Consumer Protection Office have sued Goop for false advertising, asserting that Goop has made unfounded health claims about a variety of products. Goop settled the lawsuit out of court.[10] Class-action lawsuits have been brought against Goop for unsafe products.[11]
