Holiday Shopping: Separating the Real Deals from the Fake Ones
TINA.org offers some tips on how to avoid a shopping mishap this season.
In October 2016, plaintiffs who filed false advertising-class action lawsuits against McAfee in 2014 and 2015 for allegedly charging auto-renewal prices that were higher than what was advertised jointly moved for final approval of a settlement agreement that will, if approved, resolve both lawsuits.
According to the proposed settlement terms, class members will receive an $11.50 award (either in cash or in a McAfee value certificate, depending on whether the class member filed a claim form) . In addition, McAfee agreed to make changes – including adding disclosures regarding its automatic renewals and using reference prices that meet certain requirements – to its marketing for a period of two years. A final fairness hearing is scheduled for January 26, 2017.
