COMPLAINT – CLASS ACTION COME NOW Plaintiff, by and through his attorneys of record, and for his Complaint against Defendant, complain and allege as follows: BACKGROUND 1. This action arises out of Defendant Oreck Corporation’s false and deceptive claims regarding the health benefits and “germ killing” powers of its Halo vacuum. 2. During the relevant time period, Oreck deceptively marketed, advertised, packaged, labeled and otherwise promoted its Oreck Halo vacuum as effective, through normal use, in killing virtually all bacteria, germs, mold and allergens that exist in households. In truth and fact, Oreck did not possess and rely upon a reasonable basis that substantiated the representations it made. PAGE 1 Case: 1:11-cv-03121 Document #: 1 Filed: 05/10/11 Page 2 of 23 PageID #:2 3. Oreck’s misrepresentations and omissions regarding the germ killing benefits of its Halo vacuum came to light when the Better Business Bureau’s National Advertising Division referred the matter to the Federal Trade Commission, which in turn brought charges against Oreck for false and deceptive advertising. (The FTC complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit “1” and the allegations contained therein are incorporated by reference as if set forth verbatim herein.) The FTC’s action was resolved in Aril of 2011 with Oreck agreeing to a consent order in which it agreed to cease making false and unsubstantiated claims about the efficacy of its Halo vacuum and pay a $750,000 fine.
