FTC sends refunds to people who bought certain vitamins and other supplements
The FTC is sending payments totaling more than $527,000 to 32,689 customers who bought certain vitamins and supplements from The Bountiful Company on Amazon.com. Bountiful sold these products under the brand names Nature’s Bounty and Sundown.
The FTC says that Bountiful abused product rating and review features on Amazon.com to boost sales. For example, the company made it appear that its newly introduced supplements had more product ratings and reviews, higher average ratings, and “#1 Best Seller” and “Amazon’s Choice” badges.
As a result of the FTC’s action, the company paid money to provide refunds and is banned from using deceptive review tactics.
If you get a check, please cash it within 90 days.
