Contractual penalty against Liebscher & Bracht: Consumer advice center NRW successful again
The North Rhine-Westphalia consumer advice center has once again successfully taken action against the pain therapy provider Liebscher & Bracht. The Frankfurt am Main regional court has imposed a contractual penalty because the company once again made inadmissible advertising claims for “premium nutritional supplements”. Liebscher & Bracht had already issued a cease-and-desist declaration in March 2022 that prohibited certain advertising claims for dietary supplements. The North Rhine-Westphalia consumer advice center emphasizes that people suffering from pain must be protected from misleading advertising. The warned advertising statement said: “Whether stressed, pain-stricken, old, young, vegetarian, vegan, athlete or pregnant woman – our premium nutritional supplements were developed for people of all ages, in every phase of life and with all lifestyle habits.” The consumer advocates found this statement almost...
Contractual penalty against Liebscher & Bracht: Consumer advice center NRW successful again
Die Verbraucherzentrale NRW ist erneut erfolgreich gegen den Schmerztherapie-Anbieter Liebscher & Bracht vorgegangen. Das Landgericht Frankfurt am Main hat eine Vertragsstrafe verhängt, da das Unternehmen erneut unzulässige Werbeaussagen für „Premium-Nahrungsergänzungsmittel“ gemacht hat. Bereits im März 2022 hatte Liebscher & Bracht eine Unterlassungserklärung abgegeben, die bestimmte Werbeaussagen für Nahrungsergänzungsmittel untersagte. Die Verbraucherzentrale NRW betont, dass schmerzgeplagte Menschen vor irreführender Werbung geschützt werden müssen.
The warned advertising statement said: “Whether stressed, pain-stricken, old, young, vegetarian, vegan, athlete or pregnant woman – our premium nutritional supplements were developed for people of all ages, in every phase of life and with all lifestyle habits.” The consumer advocates found this statement almost word for word on the company's homepage. The Frankfurt am Main regional court confirmed the violation of the obligation to cease and desist and imposed a contractual penalty of 4,000 euros.
In addition to the contractual penalty, it was also complained that Liebscher & Bracht had not published negative reviews and that an advertising promise for the product “Pain-Free Press Set (Basic)” improperly gave the impression of a guarantee of success.
In response to the warning, Roland Liebscher-Bracht is no longer allowed to call himself the “No. 1 pain specialist” because he is not a doctor, but an industrial engineer.
