Pop superstar Lady Gaga has been sued over sales of her wristbands for Japan’s earthquake relief efforts in a class action that claims that not all the proceeds went to victims as she had promised.Michigan legal network 1800LAWFIRM also alleges that Gaga and other companies involved in the sale and marketing of the $5 white and red “We Pray for Japan” wristbands overcharged buyers on shipping costs and “artificially inflated reports of total donations”.
1-800-LAW-FIRM has brought a class action suit against Gaga, Universal Music Group and several other co-defendants alleging that not all of the proceeds from the wristbands have gone “directly to Japan relief efforts,” like the singer and the companies have claimed.“The entire $5 donation made with the purchase of each bracelet is going to support the disaster relief,” the statement continues. “No profit is being made on shipping costs. Sales tax charges were made in accordance with local legal requirements. Lady Gaga has personally pledged her own funds to this cause and continues to support the victims of the disaster.”
