A class action lawsuit has been filed against Honeywell International, Inc., alleging deceptive marketing practices regarding its air purifier products. The complaint, brought by Lauren Nadler, accuses Honeywell of falsely advertising its air purifiers as meeting HEPA filtration standards when they allegedly do not.
According to the lawsuit, Honeywell’s air purifiers and replacement filters were marketed as “True HEPA” and “Certified HEPA,” suggesting they meet high-efficiency particulate air standards. Independent testing commissioned by Nadler’s counsel reportedly found that the products failed to meet those standards. The plaintiff argues that consumers relied on these representations when purchasing the products, especially during a period of heightened concern over air quality due to COVID-19 and widespread wildfires.
The complaint asserts that Honeywell continued to profit from these misrepresentations despite knowing the products did not perform as advertised. Nadler seeks restitution for herself and other consumers who purchased the allegedly misrepresented air purifiers. The lawsuit cites violations of New York’s General Business Law §§ 349 and 350, breach of express warranty, fraud, and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff seeks compensation for economic losses, statutory and punitive damages, attorney fees, and corrective advertising.
The plaintiff is represented by attorneys Alec M. Leslie, L. Timothy Fisher, and Luke Sironski-White of Bursor & Fisher P.A., and Greg Sinderbrand of Sinderbrand Law Group P.C. The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York under Civil Action No. 1:25-cv-06105.
