Adobe Settles DOJ Lawsuit over Deceptive Subscription Practices
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
A March 2012 class action representing California residents states that Driven Sports “makes representations regarding the efficacy, safety and legality of [Craze] which are false, misleading and deceptive.” At issue is the fact that Craze allegedly contains amphetamine, which is regulated as a controlled substance and a dangerous stimulant in California. (Karman .v Driven Sports, Inc., Case No. 1203768, Cal. Superior Ct., County of Riverside.)
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
