Craftmatic Organization

Miami, FL: (Aug-21-07) Attorney General Bill McCollum brought charges against the Craftmatic Organization, known for its electric adjustable beds, alleging that it forced Florida consumers into buying its products. The suit claimed that sales people pressured consumers into purchasing beds they didn't want or couldn't afford. Approximately 60 complaints were gathered by the Attorney General's Office and represent a small fraction of sales in the state. Evelyn Adams, 80, of Bradenton was among customers who complained. She claimed that she contacted Craftmatic after receiving a postcard offering her a chance to win a free bed. She said Craftmatic called her in January 2007 to set up an in-home appointment and she agreed, thinking it was about the free bed. She claimed that the salesman ended up spending five hours in her home, pressing her to buy the bed. In a settlement reached, the company will have to pay up to $130,000 in consumer restitution as part of an agreement to end the three-year state investigation into customer complaints.
