Balance of Nature to Pay $1.1M to Settle Regulatory Action over False Health Claims
Lawsuit alleged company falsely advertised that its “Fruits” and “Veggies” supplements could prevent, treat or cure serious diseases.
In December 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Starz Entertainment for allegedly misleadingly advertising its “7 day free trial” by claiming that customers can cancel at any time when, according to plaintiffs, Starz makes it difficult to cancel trial subscriptions and instead automatically renews subscriptions and charges customers without notifying them, in violation of New York law. (Roberts et al v. Starz Entertainment, Case No. 17-cv-9452, E.D.N.Y.)
