Some people just have way to much time on therehands.I hope the case comes up in court right at the start of hunting season and last 6 weeks.

Like putting perfume on a pig.:D

RE: SCENT LOK - SUED AGAIN
 

what are they suing for?

RE: SCENT LOK - SUED AGAIN
 

Just guessing, but I'd say it probably alleges that the company lied about the effectiveness of their product.

RE: SCENT LOK - SUED AGAIN
 

Last suit had more to do with the claims that the stuff can be recharged. The recharge claims seem to defy the laws of chemical physics.

You just log on to the site to see the people involved.

From what I understand the MN suit and this one both allege that the hutners were defrauded by the claims that Scent Lok will reduce 100% of you odors 100% of the time (they said it in an ad), and by their claims that activated carbon can be reactivated - whichaccording to most carbon reactivation companies can't be done at temperatures under about 1500 degrees - much to high for any household dryer.

Well as much as I don't agree with the lawsuit at all,Companies really got to watch whatthey advertise.
The carbon idea was a hell of an idea though, so is baking soda, so is throwing your clouths in a potatoe sackwith cedar and moss in an attempt to keep scent to a min.
But these companies don't think about is ALL hunters
expose their skin, hair, some of their (if not all of their)clothing products,(weather intentional or unintentionally) to at least one (if not more)of these air born contaminants. Gas, exaust fumes, beverages, smokes,cigars,air fresheners, somebodies perfumes, etc before they even get to the field to begin hunting.It doesn't take much to do it, knocking on a friends door to pick him up, his wife opens up with a perfume scent on her and now you have it on you.
Was that clothing meant for unnatural smells NO,all these air born contaminants are exposed to everybody everywhere, once its on you its part of your scent,so why would a company be soo stupid that it would advertise, 100% of your odours 100% of the time.
VERY VERY STUPID MARKETING PROCEDURE IN A WORLD WHERE EVERBODY SUES EVERYBODY.

I just found this on T.R. Michels web site. It is about 40 pages long, but it looks likethe lawyers, including big time Patent Attorney's - Merchant & Gould -have all their ducks lined up, and they have presented the casevery well.


"Illinois Hunters are suing Scent Lok. You can read the entire complaint here: http://www.trmichels.com/Scent%20Lok%20Illinois%20Suite.htm. What is particularly interesting is Section G & Section H, which specify why and how ALS/Scent Lok defrauded its customers."

I think that half of the stuff on the market is a gimmic. With all of the gizmos and gadgets on the market these days, (being they all work) everyone should kill a monster opening day!! I recently was looking through my cabelas catalog and found a hand held monster buck reader. It would tell you the best time that he would be moving through your area.....BS

You know after reading a portion of that 40 page case presentation..
I'm wondering how much longer till their competitors start doing the same thing and file a Law Suit against scent Loc.
Millions of dollars, in money in profit and sales,from other clothing manufactureswere probably lostbecause of alleged false claims made from Scent Loc.

RE: SCENT LOK - SUED AGAIN
 

I'm surprised that a suit like this hasn't been filed a long time ago. More suits in other states will surely follow, and I don't see how Scent Lok can win.I've never been a believer in the theory that Scent Lok eliminated all odors that deer and other game can smell.
