CATrends: Deceptive Influencer Marketing
It’s a hot sponcon summer.
In September 2015, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Edison Nation, LLC and Plymouth Direct, Inc. for allegedly deceptively marketing Gyro Bowls (children’s snack bowls) as “Spill-Proof” when, in reality, the bowls have “a very strong tendency to spill.” (Principe et al v. Edison Nation, LLC; Plymouth Direct, Inc.; and John Does 1-25, Case No. 15-cv-5453, E. D. NY.)
