Adobe Settles DOJ Lawsuit over Deceptive Subscription Practices
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
A May 2012 class action alleges that Lifeway Foods falsely markets the health benefits of its ProBoost Kefir products. According to the lawsuit, “Lifeway’s ProBoost products are not clinically proven to be effective for the benefits Lifeway represents in its media and advertising of the ProBoost products.” (Keatley, et al. v. Lifeway Foods, Inc., Case No. 12-cv-3521, N.D.Ill.)
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.
