4 million dollars
So, a slap on the wrist.
It’s not like HP is rolling in coin, but even for them $4m is probably less than they made from the actual infraction. Make it all make sense.
Why the fuck false advertising is in quotes?
“If you put everything in quotes is like other people said it and you can’t get in trouble.”
They don’t want to get sued, probably.
“False news”
HP sucks, their products suck, and I hope they crash and burn
I had an HP laptop that melted, but they voided the warranty when I unplugged it to stop it melting.
I avoided their products since then. Fucking $1200 gone.
I also have an HP printer and if I were to ever use HP toner it’s over $1000 for the 4 toners. But the generics are way under $100.
I avoid HP!
I once had a HP laptop, then the hinge got rougher, it became harder to open it up, then the screen popped off and the hinge broke
Lol. 4 mil is absolutely nothing
Dr. Evil would tend to disagree.
MUAHAHAHAHA!
Good! Fuck HP and their anti-consumer practices!
Yeah ok I guess, but the fact that they settled means they likely would have had to pay much more had this gone to court.
Hasn’t Kohl’s done this for years?
Yes, and JC Penny crashed and burned after switching their marketing strategy away from fake “regular prices.”
Yeah, I read that. New leadership felt that the eternal sales stuff was bad and changed to “everyday low prices” sort of thing thinking the customers would appreciate the transparency. Nope, the fake “on sale” works.
It’s all over the place in sales across every industry. I think it is dumb but I am surprised someone actually got a lawsuit against it.
