FTC: Oreck UV Vacuum, Air Purifier Claims are Deceptive

An Oreck Halo class action may be possible, as the FTC charged the company with making the following allegedly false and deceptive claims:

• The Halo vacuum and ProShield Plus can reduce the risk of or prevent the flu


• The Halo vacuum and ProShield Plus can prevent the common cold, diarrhea, asthma, allergy symptoms, upset stomach, and other conditions caused by allergens, molds, viruses and bacteria


• The vacuum can eliminate nearly all common germs and allergens found on users' floors


• The ProShield Plus can eliminate nearly all airborne particles from a typical household room


• The Halo vacuum's UV light is effective against germs, bacteria, mold, viruses and dust mites found in carpets

The FTC claimed that the above statements were false, as the company did not have a reasonable basis to make such claims. No scientific tests had been performed to prove that the vacuum or air cleaners could eliminate household germs and allergens, according to the FTC.
