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.
