Dallas Morning News Reports on New Lawsuit Against Biote Medical Over Sleep Supplements
February 11, 2026 – The Dallas Morning News reports that a former Biote Medical employee and his wife have filed suit against the Irving-based hormone therapy and supplements company, alleging that one of its sleep supplements caused serious liver damage.
As reported, Christopher and Mary Pat Sharon filed their lawsuit Monday in Dallas County court. According to the complaint, the couple took Biote’s “Deep Sleep” supplement as directed beginning around 2021 and subsequently developed symptoms consistent with liver injury. The filing states that both sought medical treatment, and Mary Pat Sharon underwent a liver biopsy.
According to the Morning News, “The couple raised concerns that other people may have been harmed by the supplement, too.”
The lawsuit alleges that Biote discontinued “Deep Sleep” in late 2021 and introduced a reformulated product, “Best Night Sleep,” but did not issue any public notice regarding potential safety concerns with the earlier version. Christopher Sharon, who worked for Biote at the time, allegedly began raising internal concerns by 2023 after concluding that the decision to reformulate may have been linked to safety issues.
As reported, “Christopher Sharon was terminated from Biote in mid-2025. One of his attorneys, Bill Brewer, said the company pointed to a restructuring as the reason for the termination.”
Brewer said Sharon tried to raise the issue inside the company first, and filed suit only after those efforts failed and he was terminated.
“Mr. Sharon never felt he got an adequate explanation as to … what the company was doing (and) whether the company discontinued the Deep Sleep product as a result of others reporting the same problems that he and his wife experienced,” Brewer said.
