Smile Bad rating undeserved

I wish the FTC would crack down on false advertising like they are paid to do. To me, the worst ads are for food supplements that only use testimonials to sell their product. No research. Also, the ones that claim that something is "free" when you actually need to pay a shipping fee and sign up with a credit card for regular additional purchases. Free should mean free.
I think they went after him because they did not like his politics. I own several “my pillows” and so do my friends and family. We’ve bought them online direct, through Bed & Bath and at a trade show. Never a problem, always satisfied. They hold upon to washer and dryer and are comfortable. Two years ago I purchased my parents villa in Bonnybrook. I was up in Massachusetts when I ordered a Mattress topper for the spare room. I mistakenly ordered a double but the bed was a queen. I called customer service to find out what my options were they told me that by law it could not be returned because I opened it. They told me that they would send me the right size free of charge if I donated it to a charitable organization and emailed them the receipt for their records! I was extremely pleased. The topper is great.
