Comment on Razer made a million dollars selling a mask with RGB, and the FTC is not pleased

The penalty was only $100,000, which is so small you can count on Razer pulling a similar stunt in the future, so no worries, you’ll get more fraudulently labelled cyberpunk gear.

What’s more cyber punk than a billion dollar company selling fake lifesaving equipment for profit, while breaking/ ignoring/ bribing their way past the law?

  Lul you’re right. Would you happen to know if they claimed any actual medical benefits with the masks? I’m assuming they did cause they’re getting sued but the smart thing to do would have been to just say it’s cosmetic and has no medical benefits.

    Aside from falsely claiming it is N95 certified?

    Ah fair enough, I figured it was something like that.

It says they also have to refund customers. So it’s 100k on top of what they made selling them.

Should still be higher imo. It’s a pretty dangerous thing to do during a pandemic.
