Buyers Of Hyped Skechers Shoes Can Get Refunds
No more ifs, ands or butts about the claims that Skechers USA made for its goofy-looking toning shoes.
The company has agreed to pay $40 million to settle claims that it deceived customers by saying its Shape-ups shoes would help people who wore them shed pounds and tone their abs,[url=http://rogervivieronlinesale.olimx.com/][b]cheap roger vivier sale[/b][/url], buttocks and legs, the Federal Trade Commission said.
"Skechers' unfounded claims went beyond stronger and more toned muscles," said a statement by David Vladeck, head of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "The company even made claims about weight loss and cardiovascular health." So,[url=http://parajumperssalenorge.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Jakke[/b][/url], Vladeck said,[url=http://parajumperssalenorge.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Jakke Outlet Salg[/b][/url], the Skechers settlement should send a message to advertisers: "shape up your substantiation or tone down your claims."
Previously, the American Council on Exercise, a nonprofit group,[url=http://duveticaouterwear.blogspot.com/][b]duvetica outerwear[/b][/url], compared toning shoes from Skechers and two other companies with running shoes. The group concluded there is "simply no evidence to support the claims that these shoes will help wearers exercise more intensely, burn more calories or improve muscle strength and tone."
The "studies found that there was no significant difference between any of the toning shoes and the standard running shoe,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets UK[/b][/url]," ACE's Todd Galati told All Things Considered two years ago. "These shoes are not a magic pill. It is the walking that will make a difference in your life. Not the shoe,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets UK Outlet[/b][/url]," he said.
Under the settlement the company can't say its toning shoes strengthen muscles, lead to weight loss or do much of anything related to health, unless the claims "are true and backed by scientific evidence,[url=http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/][b]duvetica jackets shop[/b][/url]," the FTC said.
Skechers claims had also been the subject of class-action litigation and an investigation by state attorneys general across the country,[url=http://duveticadoudoune.halod.com/][b]Femmes Doudoune Duvetica[/b][/url].
For its part,[url=http://billigmonclerjackenkaufen.olimx.com/][b]Moncler Jacke Damen Outlet[/b][/url], Skechers said it continues to "vigorously deny the allegations made in these legal proceedings and looked forward to vindicating these claims in court," by David Weinberg,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Parka Woolrich Online Shop Woolrich Damen Parka Woolrich Deutschland Outlet[/b][/url], the company's chief financial officer.
