Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is at the center of a legal storm as a fan threatens a $10 million lawsuit following a disastrous attempt at a DIY bath salts recipe featured on her Netflix series. The controversy, which erupted in early May 2025, stems from a segment in her lifestyle show where Meghan shared a homemade bath salts blend, prompting a viewer to recreate it-with painful consequences.
The fan, identified as Melissa Patrick, a 54-year-old diabetic from Chicago, claims she suffered “catastrophic burns” after using the recipe, which included Epsom salt, Himalayan salt, arnica oil, and lavender oil. Patrick alleges the mixture caused painful ulcers and blistering skin, leaving her fearing serious complications due to her medical condition.

Her lawyer, Thomas Hendry, stated, “Ms. Patrick followed the recipe as presented, and the results were devastating.” She’s now seeking $10 million in damages, citing negligence and emotional distress.
Meghan’s legal team has fired back, arguing the lawsuit lacks merit. Her attorney, Cameron Stracher, highlighted in a legal letter, “The use of Epsom salts is contraindicated for individuals with diabetes except on the advice of a physician.” Stracher emphasized that any injury was not foreseeable, adding, “It was not foreseeable that you would disregard the instructions on the Epsom salt packaging.” The response has drawn mixed reactions, with some fans defending Meghan, while others on X criticize the recipe’s lack of warnings. “She should’ve mentioned the risks-diabetes isn’t rare,” one user posted.

Markle faces legal firestorm over bath salts segment
The Netflix series, part of Meghan and Prince Harry’s $100 million deal, aimed to showcase the Duchess’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, blending recipes with personal anecdotes. The bath salts segment, meant to promote relaxation, has instead become a PR nightmare. Patrick’s legal filing claims the recipe lacked proper safety guidelines, a point her team hopes to leverage in court.
Meghan, who has remained silent on the issue, is no stranger to public scrutiny, but this lawsuit marks a new challenge. The controversy has reignited discussions about celebrity accountability in the wellness space, especially as DIY trends gain traction. With the case gaining traction-GB News reported an £8 million claim, roughly $10 million USD-the drama continues to unfold, keeping Meghan in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
