The “Gold Deluxe” Q-Ray
Ionized Bracelet

Information on Q-Ray Bracelet Refunds

 

This site has information for people who received a letter and claim form regarding the FTC's suit against the marketers of the "Q-Ray Ionized Bracelet." If you bought the bracelet between January 1, 2000 and June 20, 2003, you may be eligible for a refund as a result of the FTC’s suit . In January 2007, the Court ordered the defendants to turn over assets so that the FTC could provide refunds to people who bought the Q-Ray bracelet.  The court found that the defendants' claims that the bracelets would provide immediate or significant pain relief were false and deceptive.

The defendants have filed for bankruptcy and consumers will not receive refund checks until the conclusion of bankruptcy proceedings. 

The refund program is administered for the FTC by Analytics, Inc. You can check the status of your claim form and refund at https://qtinc.claimtracker.analytics-inc.com/.

If you feel that you should have received a claim form, but did not, please call 1-800-269-0056.
