Leanspa, LLC, et al.
The FTC and State of Connecticut sued LeanSpa, LLC in December 2011 for using fake websites to deceptively market acai berry and 'colon cleanse' weight-loss products, and for misleading consumers about free trial offers that actually enrolled them in a $79.95 recurring monthly billing scheme that was difficult to cancel. LeanSpa settled in 2014, agreeing to cease deceptive practices and surrender assets for consumer redress. The FTC distributed over $3.7 million to more than 23,000 consumers in 2015, followed by a second round of $321,000 in redress checks in December 2019.
