A New Jersey man claims an insomnia cure promoted on “The Dr. Oz Show” left third-degree burns on his feet.
Frank Dietl, of Southampton, N.J., filed a lawsuit in Manhattan state Supreme Court.
The Daily News says Dietl was confined to his bed for weeks after using the so-called “knap-sack heated rice footsie.”
It was promoted on April 17, 2012.
Oz recommended filling a pair of socks with uncooked rice and warming them up in a microwave oven and putting them on.
