All the ladies who purchased Wacoal's iPant to fight cellulite at any time after January 2011 can apply for a refund at FTC.gov/Wacoal under the proposed class action settlement.
A $1.3 million settlement has been reached in a class-action lawsuit filed against Wacoal for making misleading claims about its iPant products. The company had claimed that wearing iPants would substantially reduce the appearance of cellulite and make hips & thighs slimmer. However, according to the FTC, there’s no scientific support for these claims. So, the federal agency has ordered the company to pay an amount of $1.3 million in refunds to customers who purchased the iPant products. In addition to this, Wacoal is also banned from making any such claims in future that a piece of clothing can contribute to weight loss and reduce the body size.
