(LegalLaw247.com, January 17, 2012 ) New York, NY Class Action.org is alerting consumers to a Spectre Performance lawsuit lodged by competitor K&N Engineering, Inc., which alleged that Spectre made false statements regarding the benefits of its air filters and air intake systems. In November 2011, a jury in the Spectre Performance lawsuit found that the company intentionally engaged in several types of false advertising when it made claims regarding the fuel savings, filtration and horsepower capabilities of these products. If Spectre Performance indeed made false claims regarding the benefits of its air filters and air intake systems, consumers who purchased these products may be able to file a claim to recover the cost of their product.

Since the jury in the Spectre Performance lawsuit found that the company made false claims regarding its air filters and air intake systems, a federal court released a final judgment and permanent injunction against Spectre Performance. According to reports, the court found Spectre Performances claims that its air filters and air intake systems could save gas and that government studies illustrate that efficient air filters can provide up to 10% better fuel economy, were false, and stated that government research revealed that the air filters do little to improve gas mileage. In addition, it was reported that the court found that Spectre made false statements when it claimed that Speed by Spectre hpR filters were tested at independent labs using ISO 5011 standards, and have been proven to filter 99.6% of particles. Rather than test all of its filters, Spectre only ran a test on one specially designed filter, one not chosen from the production run, providing no basis on which the court could conclude that any hpR filter sold to consumers would have the same Spectre air filter efficiency as the sample test filter, according to reports. Furthermore, the court found that Spectre Performances Dyno Gains graphs were used to suggest that using the Speed by Spectre hpR filter instead of the stock filter could increase horsepower as much as 35%, a claim it concluded to be untrue.
In light of the allegations presented by the Spectre Performance lawsuit and the courts findings, Class Action.org would like to hear from consumers who purchased any air filter or air intake system sold by Spectre to determine if legal recourse is available. If Spectre violated consumer protection laws, these individuals may be able to make a claim to recover compensation for the cost of their product.
