Brand owner

Read Sep 2026. Figures here are a reading taken then, not a live feed.

A private, founder-led company. Butterfly Equity took a stake in 2021 and sold the majority of it in August 2024, and Forbes reports the founder owning about 97% after a $420M Capital One facility closed in October 2025. The seller record is the sharpest thing about it: 99% positive over 36,747 ratings, 345 of them in the last thirty days. Where it operates from is less clear — the seller record gives Los Angeles, and the site’s terms give only a Delaware registered agent and New York governing law.

The public record

RecordFindingWhat it is
FDA recall, Class IF-0214-2022Organic Infants Liquid Probiotic, 25,673 units, for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Initiated October 2021, terminated February 2022. Class I is the FDA’s most serious tier and the classification is the FDA’s; the company’s own notice is headed “Out of an Abundance of Caution”.
FDA warning lettersNoneChecked across the FDA’s published set for 2017 to 8 September 2026. No second recall either.
California Prop 65 noticesNoneNo 60-day notice names the company; the search was validated against terms that do return results.
Lead disclosed, highest lot33 ppbConsumer Reports found MaryRuth’s among the few brands publishing lot-level heavy-metal results at all, and its highest disclosed lead figure the highest of those reviewed. A disclosure finding, not a contamination ranking.
Subscription-billing investigations2 openA plaintiffs’ firm inviting customers to get in touch, April and May 2026 — not a filed case, not a regulator and not a finding against anyone.
LawsuitsNone openA 2022 trademark suit with the company as defendant and a 2025 website-accessibility suit, both terminated; a 2024 state false-advertising class action over a kids’ focus product, voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. None concerned product safety.
Better Business BureauFNot accredited, driven by failure to respond to 10 of 12 complaints rather than by the complaints’ merit.
Trustpilot2.6 / 5On only 25 reviews — too thin to set against 39,143 Amazon ratings at 4.5, and shown beside them rather than instead.
