CATrends: Deceptive Deals
The holiday shopping season is here. Tread carefully.
In August 2019, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Indochino Apparel for allegedly deceptively advertising sales on men’s clothing – including made-to-measure suits, tuxedos, blazers, vests, and pants – by comparing a “sale” price to a false reference price. According to the complaint, the clothing is regularly sold at the sale price and rarely, if ever, sold at the reference price. (Freeman et al v. Indochino Apparel, Inc. and Indochino Apparel (US), Inc., Case No. 19-cv-4539, N. D. CA.)

From empty promises to impossible standards and overhyped ingredients: for too long, the beauty industry has taught beauty wrong.
Trying to take advantage of this sale may not be as smooth as advertised.
