SKECHERS: Brand Forced to Pay Settlement to Disgruntled Weight-Loss Sneaker Customers, “Y U No Make Me SKINNY?!”
Wednesday, 15th May 2013
Captain Obvious to the rescue AGAIN.
Federal court has ordered global casual shoe brand Skechers USA Inc. to give 520,000 customers full refunds on their trainer purchases in a $40 million+ class action lawsuit: The company claimed that wearing their $80USD Shape-Ups, $54 Resistance Runner and their $40 ToneUps would actually help you, the gullible customer, to lose weight faster.
The courts considered multiple factors in deciding to approve the settlement and found it provides just compensation to the plaintiffs.
The settlement amount covers more than 70 lawsuits from across the USA. The lawsuits were consolidated in federal court in Louisville. Skechers denied the allegations but said it settled to avoid long litigation.
Abercrombie & Fitch CEO, “A Lot Of People ‘Don’t Belong’ in Our Clothes”: Brand REFUSES To Sell Larger-Sized Women’s Clothing, Despite Criticism
Friday, 10th May 2013
A&F CEO Jeffries: Dislikes Unattractive and/or Overweight People. #Logic
The CEO of [semi] popular co-ed fave brand Abercrombie & Fitch, Mike Jeffries [pictured] is still REFUSING to add larger sizes of women’s clothing to the stores. They only want “attractive and thin” people wearing their label, and they make no apologies.
When I first saw this story popping around reddit, not gonna lie to you – I thought it was a joke. I haven’t shopped in that store since college, how would I know?
Did some research on the American-retailer and on the news regarding their controversial stance on “acceptable women’s sizing” blah blah blah – come to find out, dude & Co. is serious.
Said Jeffries to Salon in 2006:
“We go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes] [in our stores], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely. Good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don’t market to anyone other than that.” Keep Reading
