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 November 2012, a federal judge preliminarily approved the $9.9 million that Lucky Brand Dungarees, Inc. and its marketing subcontractors are agreeing to pay to settle a class-action lawsuit. The suit claimed that they sent unsolicited text spam as part of a 2008 back-to-school promotion. The lawsuit was originally filed in 2010 on behalf of consumers who received the Lucky Brand text spam between August 24 and September 15, 2008. Those consumers will receive up to $100 under the settlement. (Robles v. Lucky Brand Dungarees, Inc., Case No. 10-cv-4846).
