TINA.org Supports FTC’s Ruling against Intuit’s Deceptive Advertising
Intuit should not advertise TurboTax Free Edition without making clear that most people cannot use it.
In January 2013, a federal district court threw out a class-action lawsuit against Citrus World Inc. for allegedly mislabeling its Florida’s Natural products as “100% orange juice” when the product is actually “heavily processed, stored and flavored.” U.S. District Judge Inge Prytz decided that the plaintiff didn’t suffer any injury from buying the orange juice and so the lawsuit should not go on. (Veal v. Citrus World Inc., Case No. 12-cv-0801, N. D. AL.)
