(115,661 posts)In November 2017, the lawsuit, which challenged the appropriateness of the marketing, packaging, and sale of MyPillow products, including health claims about the product, buy one get one promotions, and the use of third party endorsements and logos, was settled.
On November 1, 2016, My Pillow agreed to pay $1 million ($995,000 in civil penalties and $100,000 to California charities benefiting the homeless and victims of domestic violence) to settle a false advertising lawsuit brought in Alameda County Superior Court by Alameda County and eight other California counties. The lawsuit challenged the company's marketing claims, which asserted without proof that its pillows could treat symptoms of fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, cerebral palsy, acid reflux, and other conditions. As part of the settlement, the company was banned "from making claims in California that its pillows can cure or treat diseases and their symptoms without a human trial to back up the statements."
In January 2017, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) announced it had revoked the accreditation for MyPillow and had lowered their rating from an A+ to an F based upon numerous consumer complaints. The main issue addressed by the BBB was the constant use of their buy one, get one free offer. The BBB's Code of Advertising requires that offers or discounts must be made for a limited time, or the deal becomes the normal price of the product.

(420 posts)My mother is in the hospital and I was flipping TV channels in her room while she was sleeping. I first thought it was one of his stupid commercials and waited for it to be over to see what show was on. It was obviously a feature as it went on and on. I then realized the channel was TBN- Trinity Broadcasting Network- yes, one of those faux Christian propaganda pushers who shows what fine Christian men (cause really, it is only men who really matter) people like tRump, Pence and the pillow guy are. This is what we are dealing with folks- the non-stop media push to normalize these authoritarian, woman hating, racist creeps.
