The FTC will mail more than $1.9 million in refund checks to people who bought Pure Health and Genesis Today green coffee bean extract supplements from stores including Walmart. More than 38,500 people will get back 100% of the money they paid for the products. The checks are going to people who filed a claim with the FTC in 2016. The claims process is closed.
In 2015, the FTC charged Pure Health LLC, Genesis Today, Inc., and their principal, Lindsey Duncan, with deceptively claiming the supplements would cause people to lose 17 pounds and 16 percent of their body fat in just 12 weeks without diet or exercise. The settlement banned the defendants from making deceptive weight-loss claims about any food or dietary supplement, and required them to pay for the refund program. In 2016, the FTC sent full refunds to nearly 200,000 people who bought the products online.
If you get a check, you have 60 days to cash it. If you have questions, contact the FTC’s refund administrator, Analytics Consulting LLC, at 1-844-449-3586. The FTC will never ask you for personal information or payment when it sends a refund check.
