Adobe Settles DOJ Lawsuit over Deceptive Subscription Practices
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
In December 2019, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Woodbolt Distribution for allegedly misleadingly representing that Cavalier Gentlemen’s Product is an aphrodisiac that supports sexual health when, according to plaintiffs, none of the ingredients in the product provide such benefits. (Harris et al v. Woodbolt Distribution, LLC, Case No. 19-cv-2493, S. D. Cal.)
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
Order puts platforms like Amazon and Walmart on notice.
Advertised “best deal ever” comes with some caveats.
