Big Ass Fans has been penalized almost half a million dollars for making false advertising claims about their air purifying devices, particularly their ability to eliminate 99.99% of the COVID-19 virus. California district attorneys accused the company of misleading customers with unsubstantiated claims about their 'clean air products'. The settlement requires Big Ass Fans to pay restitution to California customers and refrain from making future false advertising claims.
The company Big Ass Fans has been slapped with almost half a million dollars in penalties for false advertising about their air purifying devices, including claims that their pricey fans can eliminate 99.99% of the virus that causes COVID-19 . On Wednesday, 11 district attorneys in California announced a joint settlement with the company regarding allegations of false and misleading advertising.
“There’s no other way to say it — it’s completely unproven whether these devices would work in a real-world setting,” Timothy Bertram, a chemistry professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Kaiser Health News in 2021. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also released a statement cautioning against claims made about the the effectiveness of air filters using ionization to protect people from COVID-19.
