How a TINA.org Reader Tip Led to a Record Penalty for False Made in USA Claims
FTC says civil penalty against Williams-Sonoma is “the largest ever in a Made in USA case.”
In August 2015, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Dollar Rent A Car (a rental car company) for allegedly misrepresenting the purpose of “administration fees.” According to the complaint, the company misleadingly represented that such fees were used to cover the cost of processing tolls from roads requiring electronic toll collection when, in reality, the company kept a vast majority of the “fees” for profit. (Maor et al v. Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. (d/b/a Dollar Rent A Car), Dollar Rent A Car, Inc., and DTG Operations, Inc., Case No. 15-cv-22595, S. D. FL.)
