(NaturalNews) A proposed settlement has been reached in a class-action

lawsuit against The Sharper Image, maker of the Ionic Breeze air purifier. If

approved by the judge, the settlement will entitle certain Sharper Image

customers to merchandise credits and a substantial discount on an air purifier

attachment part.

 

 

What you need to know - Conventional View

 

• A class-action lawsuit challenged The Sharper Image's claims about the

" performance, effectiveness and safety " of Ionic Breeze air purifiers. A

proposed settlement to this suit was filed January 16 with the Securities and

Exchange Commission.

 

• The settlement entitles anyone who purchased an Ionic Breeze purifier from

the company after May 6, 1999, to a $19 merchandise credit on any Sharper

Image product. Also provided is the opportunity to purchase an OzoneGuard

add-on for $7 instead of the retail price of $39.95.

 

• Eligible customers must provide proof of purchase of the purifier in

question. There is a limit of one merchandise credit per household, and the

credit

must be used within one year of the date of issue.

 

• According to The Shaper Image, the OzoneGuard " instantly converts ozone

into oxygen. " Consumer Reports questions this claim, calling the Ionic Breeze

" ineffective, " even with the add-on.

 

• The proposed settlement must be accepted by a judge before it can go into

effect. The judge must hold a hearing before March 1 to decide on the

settlement.

• The Sharper Image Ionic Breeze air purifiers are, in my opinion, quality

products available that do essentially the same thing.
