Aroeve air purifiers falsely advertised as high-efficiency, meeting standards, class action claims

Aroeve air purifiers class action lawsuit overview: 

• Who: Plaintiff Jeffrey Schwartz filed a class action lawsuit against Antadi LLC. 
• Why: Schwartz claims Antadi falsely advertises that its Aroeve air purifiers contain high-efficiency particulate air filters and meet medical-grade filtration standards. 
• Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in New York federal court. 

A new class action lawsuit alleges the makers of Aerove air purifiers misleadingly represent that the devices meet medical-grade filtration standards. 

Plaintiff Jeffrey Schwartz’s class action lawsuit claims Antadi’s model MK01, MK04, and MK06 Aroeve air purifiers are not actually equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters and meet HEPA 13 (H13) filtration standards, as advertised. 

“Reasonable consumers have had no opportunity to find this out for themselves because they cannot conduct HEPA testing to verify the H13 rating of the Products,” the Aroeve air purifiers class action says. 

Schwartz wants to represent a nationwide class and New York subclass of consumers who purchased an Aroeve MK01, MK04 and MK06 air purifier or replacement filter during the applicable statutory period. 

Testing shows Aroeve filters don’t meet HEPA standards, class action claims

Schwartz argues Antadi agreed to remove its HEPA and/or H13 representations about the air purifiers’ filters from their pages and packaging following a challenge by the National Advertising Division of the Better Business Bureau (NAD) in or about May 2024. 

The NAD challenge was part of independent testing commissioned by Antadi competitor Vesync Corporation that showed the filters and replacement filters inside the Aroeve air purifiers did not meet HEPA or H13 standards, according to the Aroeve air purifiers class action. 

Schwartz claims Antadi is guilty of unjust enrichment, fraud and breach of express warranty and of violating New York General Business Law. 

He demands a jury trial and requests declaratory relief and an award of compensatory, statutory and punitive damages for himself and all class members. 

In other recent device-related news, a Colorado jury awarded $55.5 million earlier this month to a woman injured by a Sunbeam pressure cooker in June 2019.
