Some of the $40 million in settlement funds remains unclaimed after Skechers USA and the Federal Trade Commission reached an agreement on May 16.
Attorney General Tom Horne said any Arizona consumer who purchased certain Skechers products since Aug. 1, 2008, may have money coming to them and there's still time to file a claim to get a partial refund.
"There is still a significant percentage of the settlement dollars unclaimed right now," Horne said. "I am reminding all Arizona consumers that if they purchased certain Skechers products, they may have money coming to them and it is not too late to file a claim to get a partial refund."
Under the terms of the settlement reached between Skechers USA, Inc., 44 states and the District of Columbia, up to $40 million was allocated for refunds to be paid to consumers who purchased Shape-Ups, Tone-Ups, and the Skechers Resistance Runner athletic shoes made by Skechers.
The company faced complaints that it had made inappropriate marketing claims about the potential health benefits of the products.
In order to file a claim, consumers should visit www.ftc.gov/skechers or call the FTC's Skechers Hotline at 866-325-4186.
