Pirozzi v. Massage Envy

A proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit that claims that Massage Envy’s advertising was deceptive because it promised 10 more minutes of hands-on massage than were actually provided during a massage session and that Missouri consumers were harmed by not receiving those additional 10 minutes of hands-on massage. Defendant Massage Envy Franchising, LLC (“MEF”) denies the allegations and that any Massage Envy® advertising was deceptive. The Court has not decided who is right in the lawsuit but has preliminarily approved the proposed Settlement.
