False Advertising

[retiredguy123]

I always thought the My Pillow guy got a bad deal when he was sued for false advertising for his "buy one get one" claims, the BBB gave him an "F" rating, and Bed, Bath and Beyond removed his products from their stores. But, now he is selling slippers for $50 that he claims are regularly priced at $140. I wonder if he ever sold a pair of his slippers for $140. I doubt it.

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.

[Keefelane66]

Now he's selling My Coffee, we all know who will buy it.

[TommyT]

Or the fast food commercials that NEVER look like the advertisements...

[Tom52]

Now he's selling My Coffee, we all know who will buy it.

Uh....coffee drinkers????

[Michael G.]

How about lower gas prices advertised on outdoor signs only to find out it's its "cash prices only".

[tophcfa]

Or when they claim the prices for t times remain unchanged, but the price no longer includes taxes.

[coralway]

No, no, no. It’s referred to as “alternative facts “ now.

[Indy-Guy]

How about the ad that their product helps your memory. One guy says that people say he has a memory like an elephant.

I don't remember the product!

Prevagen, and I never even took it. But, how do they know that elephants have good memories.

[Tvflguy]

Not false advertising but over advertising.
Some of the extensive ads in The Villages Sun are irritating. Especially the multi/full page ads for hearing aids. These ads must be very expensive, as are the cost of their products.

Speaking of that, seems that the Sun had more ad pages than ever.

[jedalton]

Boy, I agree 100 %

[Zipcat]

Do some research on Elephants … they do have amazing memories!

[FredJacobs]

The "My Pillow" guy, Mike Lindell, is facing many lawsuits because of his claims about the 2020 election being rigged, stolen, etc. It is no surprise that he is running bargain basement sales at deep discounts, he needs the money. I can't believe that he is getting rid of inventory at a loss, so he must have sold his products at a very high markup and profit. $150 for a pair of slippers??? I think the satisfied customers in the commercial are actors and not actual users. False advertising!

So called "promo codes" as discounts against their "regular price" are common marketing practices, however, today's marketing tactics look pale in comparison to claims made in years gone by. But the point with the slippers isn't how they arrive at the price, the point is whether you believe the cost of the product to be worth it. By the way, there are sellers on eBay offering those same slippers for $89, so there you go. It's called "due diligence". As a side note, the retailers who dropped My Pillow products (including Walmart) did so for political reasons, not his advertising tactics. However, you are correct, he was sued for health claims regarding the pillow product.

[deebrock]

I never saw a commercial that the slippers were $150. I wouldn't even by the slippers at $40 because I would buy nothing from that person.

[Vikingjunior]

Slippers and all his products are worth the money compared to that made in China crap.

[thelegges]

Buyer beware…..if you miss the pay shipping, on all items or just second item, then You fall into their focus group. What product in your lifetime from a business, have you ever gotten entirely for free, even BOGO you are giving that business money.

Gas stations used to be cash only, until credit cards became a norm. Even before digital signs gas stations always had 2 prices. Guess my eyesight is pretty good without glasses to figure out which price is cash :clap2:

Most seniors today don’t fall into the “I didn’t read the advertisement. My parents in their mid eighties doesn’t fall into this group. For vitamins, your PC should have explained, you are paying for expensive urine output a long time ago.

[bowlingal]

can't stand that guy. He needs a reality check for sure

I think he is only hurting himself and his business. He has to be on FOX at least 20-30 times a night. I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t stand his voice or his ads so I change the channel or mute the TV. Not very effective advertising.

[Dw2021]

I checked into the slippers when I first saw the commercial fir them but they were 149.00 dollars so I did not get them
When I saw the sale I ordered a pair and they are very comfortable
So I ordered 2 more pairs
I bought the pillows years ago at bed bath and beyond and still happy with them but no longer shop at that store.
I would also like to add that the customer service for my pillows is outstanding.

[bonrich]

I've become very adept at hitting the mute button when Mike comes on. Now it will be My Coffee, lordy help us........

[Blackbird45]

I don't know if his pillows or slippers or whatever he is selling is worth the price.
I don't know if he needs the money or what this man is worth.
What I do know is this guy is not wrapped too tight.

[jimbo2012]

my pillow sales are over $250 million a year from his crappy ads

[Bellavita]

first the my pillow guy is an idiot
anyone who thinks you can buy slippers for $140 is an idiot as well.

if it is too good to be true it probably is a lie.

[Pachine58]

Love my pillow and so do all the people who I bought them for as Christmas gifts.

You all did ..let’s be real. His advertising is genius and it made him rich. People just hate because he became a huge success.

But if you hate commercials turn the TV off and go enjoy everything THe villages has to offer, way better then boob tube.

[tophcfa]

The tactic that bothers me the most is when all kinds of discounts are available but only if you download and use their app.

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.

We have used My Pillow pillows for years with no health issues and will continue to buy them because they work for us. No reason to switch when they work. Thanks, Mike!!

He advertises on only one channel....care to guess?

Not the case with my pillow

He's on fox news that often because the network is hurting for advertisers and he's one of the few that will actually pay for time slots. They've had many companies bow out and no longer advertise with fox, so you're stuck with the dregs.

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

My parents got a pair of mypillows when they first came out, but hated them. I took my mom's, she only used it one night. It's okay but not nearly as good as my SleepNumber pillow I was given in exchange for a review on the bed I bought from them. I wouldn't ever buy a mypillow, but I'm tempted to pick up a GoodPillow this year. You can get 2 for $119, and they're supposedly much better than the mypillows. They're also less expensive than the SleepNumber pillows.

[Michael G.]

Speaking of that, seems that the Sun had more ad pages than ever.

That's one reason I'm not much on watching much television, those commercials are an insult to our intelligence.
Half hour of news weather and sports and 15 minutes of commercials.

Oh and about Sun Times and their ads, those ads are the backbone of their financial support.

Re ads support the paper, duh. My point was the very expensive full page, sometimes 4 full pages like hearing aids, with so much text….

Those advertisements need to be in the paper, if they were on the radio their target market couldn’t hear them.

[Djean1981]

Although the commercials can be annoying. The mattress topper they sell is by far the absolute best. We tried a few others first....

At $20 per pound on sale? It better be really good.

I only own MyPillows because they are great for sleep, stop neck pain, easy to wash and dry when needed and all for a reasonable cost. Best pillows I have ever owned. You should try it before you complain about it although they are probably not for everyone.

[Glowfromminnesota]

Agree. Being from Minnesota, I brought my pillows back to the store. Didn’t like them at all. No questions asked, gave me back my money and let me keep the bonus airplane pillow. My daughter absolutely loves her pillow!

[joelfmi]

Pt Barnam said thar there is a sucker born every day These con artists like crazy Eddy who was in jail for this scamming a lot of believable suckers.

[rsmurano]

A lot of the claims don’t need research. I can say that Porsche makes the best sports car, it’s my opinion and I have many magazines that back me up, but it’s still subjective. No research needed.
When they claim that something is free (let’s say a book) but you have to pay shipping, what’s wrong with that? The book was free, if you go to their warehouse you probably could pick it up for free. The pillow guy got screwed, we have some of his products and they are very good. As for the slippers, Amazon sells them for $80 and thru the factory they have a sale for $50. Are they worth it, I don’t know but I wouldn’t bash something that I have never tried them before, that’s just wrong

[jimjamuser]

Prevagen, and I never even took it. But, how do they know that elephants have good memories.
As far as elephants and memory go, I imagine that some scientists have studied their memory. But, they can be trained to perform complex tasks for a circus act. And in Africa, they migrate through some dry areas so they need to remember where the water and water holes are or they die.

[Garywt]

I always thought stores stopped selling My Pillow because he came out as a Trump supporter or something like that. Never heard of a lawsuit. Most deals out there are only after the prices were raised.

[Dilligas]

Not false advertising but over advertising.
Some of the extensive ads in The Villages Sun are irritating. Especially the multi/full page ads for hearing aids. These ads must be very expensive, as are the cost of their products.

Speaking of that, seems that the Sun had more ad pages than ever.
Not the Sun's fault.....if they had less ads, they'd have to charge much more for the paper. When you see the hearing aid ads that are full pages or multiple pages, and often in the week, it tells you their selling prices are way to high (too much margin) to afford all the ads.

[Dilligas]

How about lower gas prices advertised on outdoor signs only to find out it's its "cash prices only".
Retailers have to pay a 3%-7% fee for credit card sales....which is why "cash only" price is posted. You have to look closely to see the cash only.

[jebartle]

No, no, no. It’s referred to as “alternative facts “ now.

Better known as lies, big and little are lies, one of my pet peeves.

[Geodyssey]

Lindel Vietnam slipper better. You buy now.

[Luggage]

Ftc laws are clear. Pretty much all you have to do is advertise it at one price for at least 30 days from my recollection of the law. But of course the reality is that that $49 price and he's now selling it on sale for is about $35 too much for a pair of slippers you can buy and Macy's for $15 during Christmas. But pretty much this is a capitalistic society and I'm happy he can sell whatever he wants on TV but I wish at least he'd have a pretty girl doing the showing instead of him. I much prefer the appliance direct commercials and seeing what refrigerators are costing

[Luggage]

By the way, what is professional grade crown molding versus average grade crown molding? Inquiring buyers want to know.

I think you are referring to an FTC "regulation", not a law passed by Congress. The FTC and other agencies are supposed to protect consumers by ensuring "truth in advertising". An arbitrary rule about how long something needs to be advertised doesn't seem very effective. And, advertisers paying people to make a testimonial saying that a food supplement changed their life and made them healthy seems deceptive. In my opinion, the FTC is not doing enough to regulate advertising.

Probably got the “F” rating for his political views and not his products. Bed, Bath and Beyond is woke and dropped him for the same reason. His products are top quality. Don’t buy his products if you don’t like the price. Sad that your bashing a truly Christian and true Patriot. Casting the first stone………..?

I don't have anything against the My Pillow guy. He got a bad deal. But, I think advertisers should provide more truth in their ads. I am surprised that, apparently, some of the ridiculous ad gimmicks still work after being used for many years.

[Lindsyburnsy]

My memory gets worse every year, with age, so I did all the "Google" research I could on those memory products. There is literally, not one, that can actually claim it works. We have to take the word of those "actual customers" on TV ads that are constantly running. "If you repeat it enough, it will be true" seems to be their marketing motto.

[Ski Bum]

Exactly. This entire thread is political. The Anti-Pillow crowd, as always, wants more government to salve their own burnt rear ends and limit the choices of others. The rest of us just make our own decisions.

This guy is my channel changer or switch off tv.
Anyone who buy his pillows at those prices should be deported.
It is bits of foam torn up into irregular forms so that it does not move around freely.
I thought it was and engineered foam form in the shape of those concrete form used in the inlet entrances from ocean with five fingers to interlock.
He should be banned from tv advertising. Using Gods name. Turns my stomach.

[Daxdog]

What I don’t understand is parody financial, how can do so much advertising and sponsor so much here with the money you give them to manage.

[John Mayes]

Who? Coffee drinkers….. smh

[Bhighley]

He can and does sell directly less than the brick and mortar companies did. You see, when Mike sold his pillows to BB&B for instance, they marked them up and sold at a higher cost to make a profit… Selling direct to the consumer allows to sell at a lower cost.

I suspect CNN didn’t explain that to this crowd.

I see that his pillows are now selling at the liquidation store for $7 and you don't need a "promo code." That's all their worth for a bag of shredded foam.

90% of his employees are immigrants and fabric and supplies are outsourced

[PAB51]

I bought a pair of slippers at the sale price & they are wonderful. Not worth 150 wonderful but 50 was a good price. I love the pillows, just bought another & received a second. Neck pain gone.

[skarra]

The pillows are junk. US workers tear up Chinese foam and sell them at greatly inflated prices - that way they can offer “Made in USA” at huge discounts. Get a real quality down pillow and you will be blown away at what you’re missing.

PT Barnum would be impressed that we have a generation of con men running the show. We deserve better than this marketing stupidity.

I try to never watch commercials. Some are humorous the 1st time you see them, but not a steady diet of commercials. The main thing that I hate is that the volume is jacked up by the network for commercials. There was a law passed about 1990 to prevent that from happening. However, it was somehow blocked and put in force........too bad!

It seems obvious most people/institutions attack the guy because of his conservative politics and little else. Vendors of MANY types have been advertising a retail price versus a “value” price that is typically much higher. It is not against any law nor is it false advertising if a “comparable” product exists for dollars similar to the higher price. I’m sure we’ve all seen overpriced items at some point in our lives. The person in question actually offers a decent product at a market price similar to what others sell similar items. If you don’t like his products, or him, simply don’t buy them.

What about the daytime ad with two guys kissing and flerting to sell 'hide that you have AIDS' drugs ?
I turn off the set on those. Even fox13 on their live 9 to 10 am news show has that crap.

I have bought several products from Mike and they are terrific. Pillows, slippers and towels..........especially the towels. I dry off my head and it sucks the water right out of my eye socket!!...Only kidding folks, simmer down, but they are GREAT.I repeat the phrase every morning I use them. The slippers are great too, paid $99....settled for a different color than the tan but very well constructed and comfortable. Yeah he's on Fox a lot but the other liberal channels have a vendetta against him, that's why he wears his cross out in front to rile them up. So the blogger who called the businesses advertising on Fox as dregs. Really?....Coke, Niki etc. kneeling for the National Anthem, China supporters, I'll take the dregs any day of the week...just say'n.
