Following Up: Mother's Work Inc. Settlement

Sorry I was so late in posting. I had a fever of 103 this morning. After taking Tylenol, I have some energy to write my post. I've noticed that many readers come to my site through a search related to the Parenting magazine scam. My conclusion is Mother's Inc (e.g.Motherhood Maternity, Pea in the Pod) must still be scamming people out of 20 bucks for an unauthorized subscription.

Months ago, I received a postcard regarding the settlement case which I returned to get my share. I'm still waiting for my $25 gift certificate to any one their stores.

Has anyone received their gift certificate or heard any updates?

Get your share....Motherhood Maternity Busted

Several postings ago, I discussed the Motherhood and Parenting magazine scam. Motherhood shared mailing addresses and credit card information to the magazine which allowed them to charge a $20 subscription fee without approval. Recently I learned that there is a class action settlement for claims against Mothers Work, Inc. (Motherhood, Mimi Maternity, Pea in the Pod, and Destination Maternity)

The settlement provides for a $25 store credit to any of the stores listed above. I know it seems like such a small settlement for a corporation that has shared personal information.

If your information was shared without permission and you’d like to be part of this settlement, check out the case.

Funny thing is that Mothers Work still denies any wrongdoing. I wonder if their management people would like it if there was a mystery charge on their credit card. Arrgh!
