CATrends: Empty Space in Consumer Goods
Lawsuits aren’t giving any slack when it comes to underfilled packages.
In March 2014, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Fitbit, Inc. for allegedly falsely advertising the Fitbit Force, a device that measures and records activities such as the number of steps walked and quality of sleep. The complaint alleges that the company represents that the product is safe without adequately warning consumers of potential health consequences, including the risk of skin irritation, rashes, and burns. (Spivey et al v. Fitbit, Inc., et al., Case No. 37-2014-00007109, Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego).
