Morris Haynes has filed a lawsuit on behalf of patients of Aurora Mobile IV and Wellness who were provided non-FDA approved “gray market” weight loss injections that are not approved for human or veterinary use. The lawsuit alleges dozens of clients were supposed to receive FDA approved drugs, but instead received chemicals that Aurora’s owners bought on the “gray market.
”When healthcare providers tell us they are giving an FDA-approved medication, we should be able to trust them,” said attorney Jeremy Knowles.
According to the lawsuit, patients were exposed to unknown dangerous health risks by the experimental chemical. The law firm says its investigation has revealed that patients suffered physical injuries, including fainting, headaches, muscle weakness and even hospitalization. Many experienced the chemicals crystalizing or coagulating to a substance so thick it could not exit the syringe Aurora gave them. Morris Haynes has discovered that patients began receiving these “gray market” injections as early as May 2025.
“Patients were administered substances that are not approved for any human or even animal use,” Knowles said. “They are very concerned and worried, and we pray our clients suffer no long-term side effects.”
Aurora Mobile IV and Wellness is based out of Cullman, Alabama, with locations in Alexander City and Alabaster. However, as a mobile clinic and telehealth provider, it has treated patients from around the state, and Morris Haynes says it has been contacted by patients in Cullman, Madison, Shelby, and Tallapoosa counties.
The clinic has been shut down after the Attorney General’s office raided the facility on Friday and issued a temporary restraining order against Aurora Mobile IV and Wellness LLC (doing business as Aurora IV and Wellness) and the businesses’ owners, Amanda and Chris Medders.
“Patients who relied on this clinic were unknowingly injected with substances labeled strictly for research use, materials federal regulators have explicitly warned are risky for human use,” said Attorney General Steve Marshall.
The lawsuit also states that individuals affiliated with Aurora IV and Wellness fraudulently marketed, purchased and sold the experimental chemical provided in bulk by Vera Research, which is named in the suit along with Aurora IV and Wellness owners Chris and Amanda Medders and providers Blair Gilliland and Devid Eckard, MD.
Morris Haynes is representing over a dozen clients and continues to investigate the allegations. The law firm expects many more victims to come forward and is asking patients who received weight-loss injections from Aurora Mobile IV and Wellness to contact the firm at (205) 324-4008 or www.mhhlaw.net for more information.
