Adobe Settles DOJ Lawsuit over Deceptive Subscription Practices
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
In May 2016, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Kimlan Foods for allegedly deceptively marketing jarred preserved food products – including Kimlan Pickled Cucumber and Kimlan Chili Radish – as free of preservatives when, in reality, they contain citric acid, an ingredient regularly used as a preservative. (Hu et al v. Golden Orchid, Ltd. d/b/a Kimlan Foods U.S.A. and Kimlan Foods Co., Ltd., Case No. 16-cv-2234, E. D. NY.)
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.
