Kars4Kids Ad Banned in California over False Advertising Ruling
Sean Moran
A judged ruled that Kars4Kids ads are banned in California, believing that the charity violated false advertising and unfair competition laws by using donations to pay for teenagers’ trips to Israel and a $16.5 million building in the country.In 2021, Bruce Puterbaugh sued Kars4Kids, saying he “felt taken advantage of” after he discovered that his donation would not to go “underprivileged kids from all over the U.S.” Puterbaugh said he donated a broken-down car after hearing the ads “over and over” again on the radio. Puterbaugh believed he was a “charitable person” and said he donated the car with the belief that the proceeds would go to children in need, particularly in the Golden State.
He learned after his donation that the funds instead went to Oorah, a company meant to further Jewish heritage and summer camps in New York and New Jersey.
Gawd, that insufferable jingle with smary kids lip-syncing the lyrics- that and car donations are item #1 for income tax audits. Not at all surprised it was a scam.
Most reporters are very sympathetic to gun-control agendas and will skew or lie outright about facts to promote them.
