Kansas Attorney General Der-ek Schmidt recently announced that more than 4,000 Kansas consumers who filed claims against Skechers USA Inc.-brand toning shoes will receive refund checks totaling more than $295,000 as the result of a legal settlement. The settlement resolved allegations that Ske-chers made unsupported health claims in advertising its Shape-Ups, Tone-Ups and Resistance Runner athletic shoes.

The multi-state settlement required Skechers to refund almost $40 million nationally to 509,175 consumers. Kan-sas consumers are receiving $295,827 for 4,169 claims. Kansas joined 42 other states and the Federal Trade Commis-sion in the settlement.

“Fraudulent marketing prac-tices and questionable advertis-ing claims prevent consumers from making informed deci-sions,” Schmidt said. “Kansas consumers deserve an honest accounting from sellers.”

Skechers claimed their rock-er-bottom shoe products caused consumers to lose weight, burn calories, improve circulation, fight cellulite, and firm, tone or strengthen thigh, buttocks, and back muscles without having adequate support for its claims.

Under the settlement, Ske-chers is prohibited from mak-ing these claims unless it has adequate substantiation to do so. Skechers agreed to provide

partial refunds but did not admit any wrongdoing and denies the factual allegations asserted in the complaint.

Consumers with concerns about questionable sales or mar-keting practices can contact the Kansas Attorney General’s Con-sumer Protection Division at 1-800-432-2310 or visit www.ag.ks.gov for more information.

The Kansas Historical Society announced that Kansas has been awarded additional funding by the National Endowment for the Humanities to continue its par-ticipation in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). The Historical Society will digi-tize an additional 100,000 pages of Kansas newspapers, dating from 1854 - 1922. To track the progress of the digitization of Kansas newspapers, visit kshs.org/16126.

Launched in 2005, NDNP is a

partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress to provide enhanced access to U.S. Newspapers. The Chronicling America website currently has over six million pages published between 1836 and 1922 from 32 states and the District of Colum-bia. Kansas was brought into the program in 2009 and has since digitized over 200,000 pages from 45 titles published in every region of the state. The selected titles cover Kansas territory and

the Civil War, cow towns, the Exoduster movement, temper-ance, and the Populist and Pro-gressive eras. These titles can be found at chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/.

The Kansas Historical Society is a state agency that operates the Kansas Museum of History, State Archives, Kansas Capitol Tour Center, and 16 state histor-ic sites. For more information, visit kshs.org.
