Texas AG Ken Paxton reached a settlement with Vision Path, Inc. to resolve allegations that Vision Path’s Hubble contact lens business violated Texas’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
Following complaints from consumers and opticians, the AG alleges its investigation determined that the lenses Hubble’s marketing material described as “high quality” were actually made from a material developed over two decades ago. Hubble also is alleged to have failed to properly refund some consumers after products were returned and to verify consumers’ lens prescriptions.
Under the terms of the Assurance of Voluntary Compliance, Vision Path will pay the State of Texas $300,000 in civil penalties, $70,000 in attorney’s fees, and $2,100 in restitution for certain Texas consumers.
