Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich sent a cease-and-desist letter to Glendale-based Clean Air EXP and a similar letter to Phoenix-based Dream City Church, regarding allegedly false advertisements their air purification systems could neutralize up to 99 percent of the coronavirus in 10 minutes. “Businesses cannot mislead consumers with their advertising, especially when it comes to health issues as serious as COVID-19,” Brnovich, a Republican, said in a statement Friday. Such claims are a “misrepresentation or a false promise” punishable by up to $10,000 per violation, he said. Violators could further be responsible for paying “restitution to consumers and any fees and costs” they may incur based on false advertising. Both Clean Air EXP and Dream City Church have until Monday to comply with Brnovich's letters.
