UPDATE: Boca Supplement Company Redcon1 Sues Manufacturer NV Labs, Hivest Over MRE Lite Product Dispute
BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A Coral Gables manufacturer has sued Boca Raton-based Redcon1 in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, alleging the sports nutrition company accepted millions of dollars in delivered products and then stopped paying. The case, Natural Vitamins Laboratory, LLC d/b/a NV Labs v. Redcon1, LLC, was filed March 6 in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, under Case No. 502026CA002653XXXAMB.
According to the complaint, NV Labs is a Florida limited liability company based in Coral Gables, while Redcon1 is a Florida limited liability company with its principal place of business at 701 Park of Commerce Blvd. in Boca Raton. The complaint says venue is proper in Palm Beach County because Redcon1 maintains its principal place of business there.
The filing lists Eric M. Rolinson, P.A., Hoppin Legal PLLC, and Sbaiti & Company PLLC as attorneys for the plaintiff. No defense law firm is identified in the complaint.
All allegations in the complaint are claims made by the plaintiff and have not been proven in court.
According to the complaint, the parties began working together around the start of 2025, when Redcon1 started submitting manufacturing orders to NV Labs. NV Labs claims there was no written contract governing the overall relationship. Instead, the companies allegedly worked through bench samples, tasting panels, purchase orders, quotes, and sales orders. The complaint says neither side treated orders as binding commitments before production began, and it alleges Redcon1 frequently changed or canceled orders before that point. NV Labs claims that although Redcon1 submitted more than 40 written purchase orders, only 16 became binding “Final Orders.”
NV Labs alleges it filled each of those final orders by manufacturing and delivering products that met agreed specifications. The complaint says the products fell within Redcon1’s MRE, MRE Lite, and Total War lines, and that NV Labs delivered them in more than 160 shipments between August and December 2025.
The complaint further claims Redcon1 evaluated shipments on receipt, provided feedback shortly after delivery, and did not timely assert that any delivered products failed to conform to agreed specifications. When Redcon1 did complain about aspects of a product’s organoleptic profile, NV Labs says it responded by performing courtesy reworks and returning the products.
NV Labs alleges Redcon1 accepted all delivered product and did not reject any within a reasonable time, but later remitted only about $1.3 million of the more than $4.6 million invoiced, leaving an unpaid balance of more than $3.2 million. The complaint includes claims for breach of contract, action for the price, goods sold and delivered, unjust enrichment, and several counts seeking declaratory relief on whether the products were accepted, whether any other purchase orders were binding, and whether the products complied with implied and express warranty obligations.
The complaint says Redcon1 later claimed certain MRE Lite products made before Oct. 17, 2025 were “unsaleable.” NV Labs claims those products had already been delivered beginning in early September and, on information and belief, had been sold or were actively being sold at the time of the complaint’s allegations. NV Labs also alleges it offered to rework certain products in good faith, but says Redcon1 did not provide the inventory data, customer complaints, and returned product needed to carry that out.
In its prayer for relief, NV Labs seeks damages to be proven at trial, declaratory judgments on the disputed issues, attorneys’ fees and costs where permitted by law, and pre- and post-judgment interest.
The original complaint, Natural Vitamins Laboratory, LLC d/b/a NV Labs v. Redcon1, LLC, Case No. 502026CA002653XXXAMB, as filed 03/06/2026, with the Palm Beach County Clerk of Court, can be viewed here.
