Royals legend George Brett subject of class action lawsuit
One thing was for certain when George Brett was playing third base and knocking the cover off the ball for the Kansas City Royals– both on, and away from the field, you always knew where you stood with the fiery competitor.
Apparently, his business dealings away from the game haven’t been quite as honest.
According to this report, a group of Iowa lawyers are seeking class-action lawsuit status for a filing alleging that Brett has been falsely advertising a series of necklaces and bracelets as having the ability to improve overall health and sports performance.
Brett’s company based in Spokane, Washington, Brett Bros. Sports International has falsely claimed that it’s “Iconic Necklaces” help customers relieve chronic pain and recover from fatigue, leading to overall increase in sports performance.
Thousands of customers have bought the Brett Bros. products over the past few years, and damages sought in a class-action lawsuit would likely be in the millions.
Products like this come and go, and you have to figure that George Brett really believes in the product– or he’s just trying to make us all believe he does. His company certainly won’t be the first, or the last, to peddle a product that promises a magic cure or a quick fix.
This type of instant healing is as much a part of American culture as the snake oil salesmen who traveled the country in wagons during the Wild West.
If George Brett has truly deceived these people, his time will come.
If it is all a case of mistaken promises, that will come out in the wash as well.
