☆ The federal government just made it much easier to cancel your gym membership
  + stars: | 2024-10-16 | by ( Erika Tulfo | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
The FTC unveiled its final “click-to-cancel” rule, which requires businesses provide a way for consumers to cancel their subscriptions that is just as easy as it is to sign up. That includes everything from gym memberships to digital streaming and e-commerce to cable TV service. “Too often, businesses make people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription,” said Commission Chair Lina Khan in statement by the FTC. Other times they might’ve been able to sign up online, but in order to cancel they had to call and talk to a representative. Other kinds of memberships required them to actually show up in person to cancel their subscription,” Brett said.

☆ A woman is suing SharkNinja for claiming that its frying pan is made at temperatures hotter than the sun
  + stars: | 2023-10-28 | by ( Lakshmi Varanasi | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
SharkNinja says its frying pans have a stronger nonstick coating because they're made at 30,000°F. SharkNinja claims that its nonstick pans are manufactured under a maximum temperature of 30,000°F, which is almost three times hotter than the surface of the sun. The company says the super hot temperature ensures that the nonstick coating on its pans is more resistant than competitor pans made at lower temperatures. Brown purchased two 12-inch, nonstick frying pans made by SharkNinja in 2021, according to the lawsuit. As Brown's case unfolds, Mon said he's waiting to see whether SharkNinja will present evidence on additional foods they've tested.

☆ U.S. Supreme Court spurns dispute over Monsanto class-action settlement

Critics have said such awards encourage frivolous lawsuits and excessive fees going to class action attorneys who may seek to benefit their own interests instead. The Supreme Court in 2019 sidestepped resolving a challenge to cy pres awards in a case involving Google. Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, dissenting in that case, called cy pres settlements "unfair and unreasonable." Monsanto has called the group, which advocates against what it considers abusive class action procedures, a "serial objector to class-action settlements." The group said in court papers that further steps could have taken to distribute the settlement award to class members.
☆ Companies are selling us more stuff by telling us it's 'sustainable'

The federal government is updating guides around how companies can prove their environmental claims. Companies are advertising what they plan to do, such as addressing the climate crisis or using more recycled materials in their products. She pointed to a case BBB National Programs' National Advertising Division brought against the American Beverage Association, which represents companies such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. The beverage industry appealed the finding, arguing that the ad was intended to increase awareness that plastic bottles could be recycled. The National Advertising Division's appellate body upheld the original decision.
☆ Molson Coors told to pull Miller Lite ad that implies rival light beers 'taste like water'
  + stars: | 2023-02-26 | by ( Jyoti Mann | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Molson Coors has been told to pull an advert that implies rival light beers "taste like water." The NAD recommended that Molson Coors discontinue its 2022 ad promoting Miller Lite that said "light beer shouldn't taste like water. The 15-second spot shows a man cycling up a hill before stopping and pouring an "extremely lite beer" on himself. In 2019 AB InBev was sued by Molson Coors over a Super Bowl ad campaign highlighting the use of corn syrup in the brewing process for Miller Lite and Coors Lite. Molson Coors and AB InBev didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider made outside normal working hours.
☆ Molson Coors needs to stop comparing rivals' light beer to water, regulator says, in a win for Anheuser-Busch
  + stars: | 2023-02-24 | by ( Avery Hartmans | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Molson Coors should no longer compare its rivals' beers to drinking water, a regulatory body says. "We believe light beer should taste like beer, not water, and we are well within our right to share that belief," a spokesperson said. "We have appealed the NAD's decision and will proudly continue to make light beer that tastes like beer." The ad highlighted the fact that Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light isn't made with corn syrup, which Molson Coors said unfairly targeted Miller Lite and Coors Light. The court sided with Molson Coors, but a federal appeals court later overturned the ruling in favor of Anheuser-Busch.

Brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev SA has scored at least a temporary win in the long-running battle over light beer brands’ marketing claims. BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division, an ad-industry self-regulatory group, determined that Molson Coors Beverage Co. should stop marketing its light beer products by implying that those produced by rivals have little or no flavor. Molson Coors plans to appeal, according to Chief Communications Officer Adam Collins. A final decision in the Molson Coors case should come down next month, she said. In 2019, Molson Coors sued AB InBev over a Super Bowl campaign highlighting the fact that Miller Lite and Coors Light use corn syrup in the brewing process.
