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.”
A false advertising class-action lawsuit was filed against StemGenex Medical Group in August 2016 and transferred to federal court in November 2016. The complaint alleges that the company misleadingly markets its Stem Cell Treatments will treat diseases – including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis – and 100% of its prior customers are satisfied with its service without a reasonable basis for making such claims. In addition, the complaint alleges that the company omits important information about its Stem Cell Treatments, including the dissatisfaction and complaints of ineffectiveness from customers.
