Kirill Chumenko
Businessman named in consumer-fraud litigation
What the public record shows
Kirill Chumenko has been named in connection with a federal civil class-action lawsuit, Cindy Adam v. Barone, et al., No. 4:20-cv-00761-KAW, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (filed February 2020), concerning the marketing and sale of the Nuvega Lash eyelash serum.
According to the plaintiff’s complaint, the Nuvega Lash operation relied on misleading “free trial” offers, enrolled customers in recurring billing without clear consent, and made unsubstantiated advertising claims — with counts under the Federal Trade Commission Act, the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.
These are allegations made by the plaintiff. They have not been proven in court. Being named in a lawsuit is not a finding of wrongdoing.
Why we rate this “Caution” (3.5 / 10)
- A pending consumer-fraud complaint in federal court is a legitimate caution flag.
- The allegations are unproven, so we do not rate this “Avoid” or assert that any wrongdoing occurred. The score reflects unresolved risk, not established guilt.
- The rating will change if the case is dismissed, settled, or decided either way.
What we are not saying
We are not stating that Kirill Chumenko committed a crime or was convicted of anything. This review is limited to the documented civil litigation above.

Bottom line
