UPDATE: Williams-Sonoma to Pay $1 Million to Settle FTC Lawsuit over Misleading Made in USA Claims
Settlement comes after TINA.org alerted FTC to hundreds of products deceptively marketed as American-made.
A class-action lawsuit was filed against Tiger Natural Gas Inc. for allegedly falsely advertising its natural gas price protection program by deceptively promising consumers who enroll in the program will save money and pay lower rates than the rate of their current gas provider when, according to plaintiffs, Tiger Natural Gas charged a higher rate. The lawsuit was filed in state court in August 2017 and transferred to federal court in September 2017. (Fishman et al v. Tiger Natural Gas, Inc., Case No. 17-cv-5351, N. D. CA.)
