Adobe Settles DOJ Lawsuit over Deceptive Subscription Practices
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
In September 2019, a class-action lawsuit was filed against JB7, LLC for allegedly deceptively marketing its Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides as “the ultimate sports and post recovery protein” and that each serving of the product provides 12 percent of the Daily Value of protein when, according to the complaint, the Daily Value percentage for the product is zero because it is missing one of the nine essential amino acids (tryptophan) and thus is an “incomplete protein.” (McLaughlin et al v. JB7, LLC, Case No. 19-cv-23748, S. D. FL.)
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.
