Rihanna‘s lingerie line has found itself in some hot water and as a result, it is set to pay a hefty fine.
More details below…
According to The East Bay Times, Savage X Fenty is being sued by Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles and San Diego counties for misleading customers by automatically enlisting them in a special“VIP” program that had recurring charges.
According to the complaint, the company’s actions “were likely to deceive members of the public and were performed with that intent.”
Savage X Fenty allegedly failed to get the customer’s consent, plainly disclose the conditions of its auto-renewal program or offer a straightforward way to stop the charges.
The Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office said the company has willingly worked with the investigation and has since made modifications to its website, automatic renewal alerts, store credit and advertising methods.
As a result of the suit, Savage X Fenty will pay a $1 million fine and an additional $150,000 in restitution to former or present VIP members in California and $50,000 in state investigative fees as part of the settlement.
Rihanna has not commented on the matter as of reporting.
