Apple and Nike Settle FuelBand Lawsuit

Posted by samzenpus on from the have-some-money dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Nike and co-defendant Apple have reached an agreement to settle a class action suit that alleged false advertising from the two companies indicating that the FuelBand fitness watch had capabilities to track health. The two companies agreed that Nike would pay $2.4 million out to customers who purchased a FuelBand between January 19, 2012 and June 17, 2015. Apple was a co-defendant in the case, but only Nike has been found liable for falsely advertising the wristband.

    That the fuelband is a steaming pile of crap and everyone else has done a far better job?

    Everyone I have known that bought a fuelband has had theirs fail. Fitbit destroyed nike's market because Nike has no clue at all how to do anything but sell $9.00 low quality shoes to idiots that pay $250+ for them.
