Adobe Settles DOJ Lawsuit over Deceptive Subscription Practices
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
In 2019, a class-action lawsuit was filed against CNH Industrial America for allegedly misleadingly marketing the Module Express (a piece of equipment that picks and bales cotton for farmers). The complaint, which was originally filed in January and amended in April, alleges that the company misleadingly promises that the Module Express is reliable, powerful, and the most efficient and cost-effective way to harvest cotton when, according to plaintiffs, the equipment frequently breaks down in the field and needs to be continually repaired. (T&M Farms et al v. CNH Industrial America, LLC, Case No. 19-cv-85, E.D. Wis.)
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.
