The marketers of the weight loss supplement LeanSpa have agreed to settle a deceptive marketing lawsuit that was filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 2011. If you have purchased LeanSpa weight loss products, you could be eligible for refunds from the deceptive marketing settlement.
The FTC lawsuit alleged LeanSpa’s marketers created fake news websites to promote acai berry and colon cleansing weight loss products. The marketers also allegedly falsely informed consumers that they could receive a free trial of the weight loss products if they paid a small shipping and handling fee. However, according to the FTC lawsuit, consumers actually paid nearly $80 for the “free” trial and were signed up for monthly subscriptions that were difficult to cancel. Consumers reportedly paid more than $25 million to the defendants.
In 2011, the FTC and the state of Connecticut shut down the alleged LeanSpa scam operation and charged the defendants with violating portions of the FTC Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act.
In January, the FTC reached several settlements with the marketers of weight loss products, including LeanSpa, over allegations they used deceptive advertising schemes to peddle their wares. These deceptive advertising settlements are part of the FTC’s ongoing initiative to stop marketers from using misleading tactics to sell fad diet products.
The marketers of LeanSpa supplements have agreed to pay up to $7 million in refunds to consumers.
UPDATE: LeanSpa class action settlement checks have been sent.
UPDATE 2: August 2019, the FTC is asking consumers who purchased LeanSpa, LeanSpa with Acai, LeanSpa with HCA, LeanSpa Cleanse, NutraSlim, NutraSlim with HCA, QuickDetox and SlimFuel, who haven’t already received a refund to call 1-866-621-4156 to request one.
UPDATE 3: December 2019, the FTC started mailing another round of LeanSpa refund checks. If you bought LeanSpa, LeanSpa with Acai, LeanSpa with HCA, LeanSpa Cleanse, NutraSlim, NutraSlim with HCA, QuickDetox and SlimFuel, and haven’t already received a refund, please call 1-866-621-4156 to request one.

I was in the UK when I purchased this and now live in Australia. Have only just received an email to let me know about this class action.
How can I get my refund? They kept taking money despite numerous attempts to cancel this. Good to hear justice is served even if 9 years later. Thanks FTC for looking after us.
