Wow, that is something! I just signed up since I bought Sketchers Toners last year. Personally, I never believed in the weight loss claims; I just thought that they would be comfortable (they are) and maybe help with back pain (not sure about that, but I don't wear them for walking, just exercise). I almost feel guilty apply for a refund!

I have several pairs of those including the reeboks as they make great city-walking shoes when we travel. I however, will not submit my info for a refund, I feel that's a bit much. I bought them knowing full well that they wouldn't do anything for my figure. Even if I had bought into the claims, I feel it's cheating the system to take advantage of something like that especially when most of us use these items regardless if it claims to give you a better "X".
Crazy. It's like getting something for nothing especially after using them. I completely do not understand that. But they are comfy shoes!

GASP! Perhaps we should ban together, file a class action lawsuit, and get refunds on our exercise balls regardless if we use them or not!

However I think these kind of settlements could serve as a warning to other companies not to make outrageous claims. Because apparently some people will believe them! |

With the Reebok settlement-- and I assume this one-- the dollar figure was determined and then individuals who apply get a cut from that so it's not like filing makes a difference to Reebok or Sketchers one way or the other, just to the other buyers.
