This article is about LA weight loss and their suit for false advertising. They say in their comericals and on the internet that their customers have no commitment and they say that their customers also only have to pay $7 a week for the program. But really they have to buy a yearly membership (they have to pay in advance a price of $376.60) and it is not only $7 a week becasue they have to buy LA lites which is $448 a year plus the $377 equals 865 and $7 times 52 week ayear equals $364. So obviously they dont add up. I think that they shouldn't false advertise prices and commitments becasue if you dont show improvement you have to pay $25 to get out of the contract. It is very stupid plus they are all closing now becasue it really doesn't work.
this article is about Airbone. Airborne claims to cure the common cold and the flu. So a false advertising claims that is is nothing more than an expensive medicine. Consumers whether they have proof of purchase or not will be given back their money. Airborne settled to give back $23 million dollars. i think that if you have a priduct dont lie about it because someone will find out the truth and you will have to pay for it.
Summary: Novell announced that it's suing Microsoft to prevent the software giant from "making and distributing false and misleading statements about Novell and its products in violation of state and federal laws." Microsoft recently launched an ad campaign aimed at Novell customers, in which Microsoft mailed Novell customers a breakfast cereal box that displayed various false and misleading statements about Novell NetWare 6, which competes with Microsoft's Active Directory (AD) product.
Opinion: Companies should stop false advertising. It doesn't make me want there product any more.
China has blocked 23 websites for falsely advertising drug-based products. The websites also are selling drugs illegally. The websites sold counterfeit drugs publicized false, exagerrating, and misleading information about the drugs. China has recently launched a campain to ban false advertising of products and are coming down hard on the websites that claim to be affiliated with hosptials. China closed 51 websites earlier in the year for illegal advertising too.
I think that it is interesting that a country this large is focusing on a fairly small issue. False advertising, especially about false medication is dangerous and must be put to a stop. It is cool to see the country putting an end to dangerous practices though.
Gateway 2000 to Pay $290,000 in False Advertising Case
Gateway 2000 has agreed to pay $290,000 as part of a false advertising settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. According to the complaint the FTC said that Gateway falsely advertised that it provides a "money back guarantee" of a "full refund," when it only it deducts the cost of shipping the merchandise to consumers, about 62 bucks. I think that company’s need to stop saying things unless they are actually going live up to it. Customers should be able to trust companies and take their word.
China blocked 23 websites that illegally sold and advertised drug based products disguised under the names of hospitals and medical institutions. The sites sold counterfeit drugs and gave out false information regarding cures. China had ordered the closure of 51 websites earlier this year for the same reason.
I think its good that people in other countries are starting to get protected from this stuff. I don't see how people would offer hope to someone just to get their money. I guess some people are just evil and greedy.
China blocked 23 websites for false advertising of drug products and selling them illegally. These sites might sell counterfeit drugs or false, misleading information that might be important like cures for diseases.
These illegal acts can never be ignored, only enforced and those who caused it will be punished by law in China.
This article is about Graceway Pharmaceuticals filing false advertising against River's Edge Pharmaceuticals. They filed a lawsuit over the issue. Graceway alleges that River's Edge unlawfully promoted its benzoyl peroxide gel as being equivalent and also a substitute to theirs.
It's wrong that they said theirs was equal. It's like a political ad trash talking their opponent. Doing that steals away from their sales.
Gateway 2000 to Pay $290,000 in False Advertising Case
Computer maker and Internet marketer Gateway 2000, has agreed to pay $290,000 as part of a false advertising settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. The company also told they would be provided free "on-site service" upon request, when, in fact, the on-site service was not provided until Gateway diagnosed the problem over the telephone and determined that the consumer could not make the repair. I think that its a good thing to pay money for there false advertisment they prolly won't lose as many customers but it also stinks for them cause of that "hefty" price.
http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=8731 Gateway 2000 has to pay $290,000 in false advertising. The FTC is saying that Gateway say they had a money back guarentee or a full refund. When in fact it only deducted the cost of shipping and merchandise.
This is just stupid. I mean why would advertise you were going to give a money back guarentee and yet only subtract the merchandise and shipping. To me they deserve this suite.
this article is about how a guy got 15 pepsi points and sent in a $700,000 check and was supposed to recieve a fighter jet. when he did not recieve the jet, he sued the company.
i think that this article is another example of people trying to take advantage of big corporations since they have a lot of money.
This article is about a false advertising law suit against airborne. Airborne was invented by a school teacher who was tired of getting sick in school. It was labeled as a supplement rather than a placebo, and there wasn't much scientific testiong done on it before it was put into production.
i think this is ridiulous. this product works. as long as tyhe product works beople shouldn't bitch about it. this is just another frivilous lawsuit with people trying to make money.
A lawsuit was filed against Pantene Pro-V for falsely representing that they strengthen hair. The complaint said that they falsely claimed in both the labeling and advertising that their products make hair 10 times stronger. In reality, they do not strengthen hair at all.
I think that the company of the Pantene Pro-V products is just trying to make a lot of money off of products that don't even work.
