Overview

  • Robin Patrick, a Maryland resident with diabetes, claims she suffered severe burns after using a bath salt recipe from Meghan Markle's Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan'.
  • Patrick alleges the mixture of Epsom salt, Himalayan salt, arnica oil, and lavender oil caused blistering, ulcers, and persistent pain, disrupting her daily life.
  • The lawsuit threat seeks $10 million in punitive damages and $75,000 for medical expenses, citing emotional distress and long-term health concerns.
  • Markle's attorney, Cameron Stracher, argues that Epsom salt packaging already warns diabetics to consult a physician and denies negligence claims.
  • The case raises broader questions about the responsibilities of celebrity-led lifestyle content to include health disclaimers for vulnerable audiences.
