HoMedics TheraP Faces Consumer Class Action

San Diego, CA: A consumer fraud class action lawsuit has been certified against HoMedics TheraP "Hot & Cold Therapy Back support with the Power of Magnets" claiming violation of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) and for violation of Business and Professions Code ("UCL").

The plaintiff, Fletcher Gibson, alleges that in January 2010 he purchased HoMedics TheraP "Hot & Cold Therapy Back support with the Power of Magnets for approximately $29.99 from Rite Aid. "I purchased 'TheraP Magnet Back Support' specifically because it was advertised that it had magnets that would help relieve pain," Gibson stated. "If I had known that magnets have no power to heal or relieve pain, I would not have purchased the 'TheraP Magnet Back Support.' I would have paid a cheaper price for a comparable product that did not contain magnets."

The suit claims that the class, represented by Mr. Gibson, was mislead by the claims of the defendant.
