Ab Circle Pro Must Refund $25 Million to Customers

Magic shoes won’t make you thin and neither will spending a mere three minutes a day on an exercise device.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently filed charges against the marketers of the Ab Circle Pro for claiming that a three-minute workout on awkward device was the same as doing 100 sit ups.

“The FTC reminds marketers that they should think twice before promising a silver-bullet solution to a health problem – whether it involves losing weight or curing cancer,” Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection David Vladeck said in a press release.  “Weight loss is hard work, and telling consumers otherwise is deceptive.”

According to the FTC, the defendants have agreed to settlements that provide as much as $25 million depending on the volume of refunds consumers request.
