Sharper Image has agreed to offer more than $60 million in credits to settle a class action alleging it misled customers about the effectiveness of its "Ionic Breeze" air purifers. A Florida man said he paid several hundred dollars for an Ionic Breeze to help remove dust, pollen and other particles from the air, only to find it didn't work as advertised. The retailer cited scientific studies validating the product's effectiveness, but concluded settling was in its "best interest," court papers said.

Sharper Image Corp. has agreed to discount its high-tech gadgets by more than $60 million and make several other concessions to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the specialty retailer misled customers about the effectiveness of its air purifers.
Under the proposed settlement disclosed last Friday in a regulatory filing, Sharper Image will offer $19 merchandise credits to each of the roughly 3.2 million consumers who have bought one of its “Ionic Breeze” purifiers since May 6, 1999.
