False Advertisement Can Cost You!

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ordered Reebok to provide $25 million in refunds to consumers who bought their various toning shoe products, WWD reports. Reebok claimed that their shoes can increase strength by 11-28% your calves, legs, and butt muscles. Yet non of this was proven by actual science facts. The director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection told WWD "The FTC wants national advisers to understand that they must exercise some responsibility and ensure that their claims for fitness gear are supported by sound science." So if you spent your money on these shoes, you can get your money back either from the FTCor through a court approved class action lawsuit.
