NEW YORK — The company behind the Snuggie, Perfect Bacon Bowl and other “As Seen on TV” products has agreed to pay $8 million to settle charges that it deceived customers.
The Federal Trade Commission said Allstar Marketing Group promised customers buy-one-get-one-free promotions, but some were still charged for the items in the form of high processing and handling fees.
The FTC said costumers were led to believe they would be getting two $19.95 products for less than $10 each, but actually paid $35.85 when a processing and handling fee was applied.
Allstar sells products such as Chop Magic, Cat’s Meow and Topsy Turvy through TV commercials, websites and in stores.
