Oreck Deceptive Claims

The FTC has charged Oreck with making allegedly false and deceptive claims with regard to these two products. Among the claims that have been called into question are the following:

• The Oreck Halo vacuum and ProShield Plus air purifier can prevent the flu and reduce the risk of the flu, the common cold, asthma, allergy symptoms, diarrhea, and upset stomach resulting from exposure to household allergens, bacteria, viruses, and mold.


• The Halo vacuum can get rid of nearly all common germs and allergens on household floors.


• The Proshield Plus air purifier can get rid of nearly all airborne particles in a typical room.


• The UV light on the Oreck Halo vacuum is effective in eliminating germs, mold, bacteria, viruses, and dust mites that live in carpets.

Since Oreck had no reasonable scientific basis to make the above claims, the FTC has deemed them false until such evidence can be shown. According to the FTC, at the time the claims were made, no scientific tests had been conducted to prove the products could remove allergens or household germs.
