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.”
April 2016: The named plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal regarding the attorneys’ fees and costs.
March 2016: The lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed after the parties agreed that all of the matters, except attorneys’ fees and costs, were resolved. The reasons for the dismissal have not yet been disclosed.
November 2015: A class-action lawsuit was filed against NAC Marketing Company, a marketer of subscriptions for products that claim to boost men’s testosterone. According to the complaint, the company fails to adequately present the terms of its automatic renewal and continuous service offers (i.e., monthly subscriptions for products such as Ageless Male, a testosterone supplement) and, as a result, charged consumers without their consent. (Lopez et al v. NAC Marketing Company, LLC and Does 1-10, Case No. 15-cv-2522, S. D. CA.)
