Skechers to pay

Skechers to pay,[url=http://woolrichoutletde.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Outlet[/b][/url]
WASHINGTON - The government wants you to know that simply sporting a pair of Skechers fitness shoes is not going to get you Kim Kardashian's curves or Brooke Burke's toned tush.
Skechers USA Inc. will pay $40 million to settle charges by the Federal Trade Commission that the footwear company made unfounded claims that its Shape-ups shoes would help people lose weight and strengthen their butt,[url=http://rogervivieroutlet.webmium.com/][b]roger vivier australia store Buy Roger Vivier Shoes In Roger Vivier UK Online Shop[/b][/url], leg and stomach muscles. Kardashian,[url=http://duveticavestesfr.halod.com/][b]Doudoune Duvetica Femme online shop duvetica vestes paris boutique[/b][/url], Burke and other celebrities endorsed the shoes in Skechers ads.
Wednesday's settlement also involves the company's Resistance Runner,[url=http://rogervivieroutlet.webmium.com/][b]Roger Vivier UK Online Shop[/b][/url], Toners, and Tone-ups shoes and claims of deceptive advertising for those shoes as well.
Consumers who bought the shoes would be eligible for refunds,[url=http://parajumpersparkamen.webmium.com/][b]Woolrich Parka Parajumpers Jacket Canada Goose Outlet Online[/b][/url], though it's not clear how much money they'll get. The FTC says that will depend on how many claims are received in the eight-month filing period. Buyers can go to the FTC website to file a claim.
Most of the $40 million federal settlement would be returned to consumers,[url=http://duveticavestesfr.halod.com/][b]Doudoune Duvetica[/b][/url], but a small amount of the settlement would be used to administer the payouts.
The settlement is related to a broader agreement also announced Wednesday that resolves a multistate investigation led by the attorneys general from Tennessee and Ohio and involving more than 40 states. The company will provide an additional $5 million to the states,[url=http://woolrichschweizshop.albirank.net/][b]http://woolrichschweizshop.albirank.net/[/b][/url], and pay $5 million in class-action attorney fees.
"The FTC's message,[url=http://monclerjackedeutschland.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Jacken Outlet Sale Moncler DaunenJacke Online Shop Deutschland[/b][/url], for Skechers and other national advertisers,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessales.blogspot.com/][b]http://2013rogerviviershoessales.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], is to shape up your substantiation or tone down your claims,[url=http://discountparajumperssaleonlinestore.webmium.com/][b]http://discountparajumperssaleonlinestore.webmium.com/[/b][/url]," said David Vladeck,[url=http://discountparajumperssaleonlinestore.webmium.com/][b]2013 Parajumpers Jackets On Sale Parajumpers Parka Coat Online Store[/b][/url], director of the agency's consumer protection bureau. For millions of consumers,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessales.blogspot.com/][b]Cheap Roger Vivier Shoes Sale Outlet Store[/b][/url], he said,[url=http://duveticashoponline.blogspot.com/][b]http://duveticashoponline.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], "the only thing that got a workout was their wallet."
The commission settled similar charges with Reebok last year over its EasyTone walking shoes and RunTone running shoes,[url=http://cheapsoccercleatsonlinestore.blogspot.com/][b]cheap soccer cleats store[/url]. That $25 million agreement also provided customer refunds,[url=http://monclerjackedeutschland.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerjackedeutschland.albirank.net/[/b][/url].
"Skechers could not ignore the exorbitant cost and endless distraction of several years spent defending multiple lawsuits in multiple courts across the country," said David Weinberg, the company's chief financial officer.
