Laguna Hills-based Formulated Sciences Inc. has sued Philadelphia Eagles receiver Terrell Owens for $35 million.
The suit charges that Owens failed to follow the terms of an endorsement deal he signed when he was playing for the San Francisco 49ers in 1999, according to a company press release.
Formulated Sciences said Owens was hired to promote a nutritional supplement and muscle-pain reliever made by the company. But the star receiver never wore T-shirts or other gear on TV that the company gave him.
Formulated Sciences is one of several companies whose products are banned by the National Football League. The company sued the NFL over the ban.
