RE: Minnesota Hunters Sue Scent Lok
Anybody with me?????
I'm gonna get a group of guys together and sue Realtree. There new AP claim from Michael Waddell is that "you'll Disappear". I've had Lisa take several photos of me in the garments and, to date, I have been in every one of them. Who's with me??????[&:][:@] |
RE: Minnesota Hunters Sue Scent Lok
Crap...... I was just going to buy that Realtree AP camo today! You're telling me you really don't disappear? That could be a deal breaker.

Spending money on this stuff in general is a waste of money. Wash your normal hunting clothes and then store them in a bag with leaves and such and you'll have deer walk right by you even on the ground. I've had deer bed right below me when in a stand and when hunting from the ground walk right by me and I've never used this stuff. It's all about controlling your scent.

Who's with me??????[&:][:@] I am with ya!!! lol That is probably one of the stupidest lawsuits I have ever heard. Its their fault not the clothing and nothing completely elmininates your scent, but you can control it. You cant just expect to thow on some clothes and expect them to take away your scent. They sound like a bunch of spoiled hunters( or should I even call them hunters??) that want everything their way.They probably didnt see any deer and figured it couldnt be their fault but the clothing. Their hunting area could be bad or they couldhave been moving around....who knows butI hope this whole thing falls through because that is sorry....:) |
RE: Minnesota Hunters Sue Scent Lok
I've never been a fan of scent-lok. But honestly, what happened to just raising a stink with the company directly and getting your money back? Send the suit back in, get your money back and call it good. Yes, false advertising is wrong, but it obviously has to work to some degree (even if it is just a fraction of said degree).

RE: Minnesota Hunters Sue Scent Lok
Someone here mentioned that the loser of the lawsuit should pay expenses. This is how it's done in England. The problem with that system is if you are truly injured,and are poor, you might not be able to afford to sue. If you lose,even if you were right, you could lose everything you have. In this scenario only the wealthy could afford to sue. Not a solution either!

RE: Minnesota Hunters Sue Scent Lok
I guess what bothers me the most inthis case is the course of action these hunters are taking. Not whether or not the clothing works.
If Scent Lok or any other clothes truly does not work at all, then do your own tests, conduct your own research to prove it. Then, go to the appropriate governement agency to have them investigate false advertising, etc. Don't partner up with the personal injury lawyers to see how much you can milk this for. I guess I'm not sure how I'd sleep at night realizing what a fool I'm looking like for doing so. I'd be downright embarassed. |

Let me give you a for instance. Lets say that Ford advertises a new car that they said will get 50 miles per gallon of gas on the highway. With the price of gas being what it is, you like the sound of that and buy one. Well after you get home and drive it a few days, it turns out that you are only getting 20 mpg. Then after a while it turns out that everyone who bought one is only getting 20 mpg. What would you do? Just say, oh well "Let the buyer beware". Yeah right, I bet that's how you would handle it. You would be mad as hell and rightfully so. Companies do not have the right to make false claims in their advertising. Most insulate themselves from legal action with disclaimers in small print, joke ads or by wording their ads in a vague nonspecific way. But when you make a serious, straightfoward, verifiable, claim in an ad you better by God be sure of it. and you would have to sue EPA b/c they are the ones that verify the figures (unless Ford gave the EPA a fraudulent tester vehicle). This is the wild west of marketing - it's hunting products. Deer Cane includes a warning not to get between the deer and it's junky fix. If you look at food plot products, you would think that it is Elesyian fields of green with Boone and Crockett's grazing everywhere. This is also not a big ticket item (I know it's expensive, but I'm assuming that most people need the jacket anyway, so it added $50 to their purchase). It is also not some claim that causes health risks or long term damage (like in your car example). Finally, there is science that says carbon removes odor. It's not black and white. Your going to be able to find a lawyer to sue for anything imaginable if you have the $$$, but that doesn't mean it is the best or even "right" way to resolve problems. I think my favorite way to handle "snake oil" was in the movie the "Outlaw Josie Wales (IMO one of the best Westerns ever), where Josie asks the salesman, "That stuff's good for everything is it?" The salesman says oh yes. Then Josie spits a big wad of tobacco chew on the guy's white jacket and asks: "How's it work for stains?":D |
RE: Minnesota Hunters Sue Scent Lok
anyone whould think they could look like that guy with only 3 20 minute workouts is stuiped. For one chuck norris did those commercels before do you know how much he workes out. Take hulk hogan he works out like four 4hr a day to look like that .
They say what ever you wont to get you to buy the product. think off all the diet pills out there like that tremspacrap that anna nicaole smith took to lost her weight and it worked with some lipo and stomach stapaling. if you buy something that sound to good to be true then wellbuyer be stuiped andbuy get stock with it . again if someonedefrauds you thenyou should get your money ack what if you where in scent lok and had aworld record deer biggestever shot and he winded you just because the suit did not work thats what i call emotional distress. we now nothin about the reasons for the case and the onlypeoplewhi will are in the court house. And i bet rightor wroung they settle.there not going to wont the bad press ORIGINAL: Todd1700 Should I sue Bowflex Home Gym? Three days a week for 20mins and I still don't look anything like the guy in the commecial. Maybe Axe deodorant, I've used the stuff and the women don't swarm to me like flies to ****. Let me give you a for instance. Lets say that Ford advertises a new car that they said will get 50 miles per gallon of gason the highway. With the price of gas being what it is, you like the sound of that and buy one. Well after you get home and drive it a few days, itturns out that you are only getting 20 mpg.

RE: Minnesota Hunters Sue Scent Lok
This suit could actually benefit the company and end the rumors if they are not true.
I believe a spokesperson said they are eager for the case to startto dismiss false claims. "We know it works. And we're excited about the opportunity to prove to the world once and for all how effective our product is." I do on the other hand feel that companies are responsible for their claims on a product. |
