Direct Marketer Agrees to Pay $8 Million for Deceiving Consumers

A direct marketing company selling "as-seen-on-TV" type products such as Snuggies and the Magic Mesh door cover has agreed to pay $7.5 million to the Federal Trade Commission for consumer restitution to settle FTC charges in connection with its deceptive "buy-one-get-one-free" promotions. The FTC's settlement with Allstar Marketing Group, LLC, was reached alongside actions by the New York State Office of the Attorney General, which is announcing a separate state case today.
