"A company marketing penile enhancement pills has agreed to pay the Orange County district attorney's office $300,000 in civil penalties for false advertising and unfair business practices, a district attorney's spokeswoman said Monday.
Dish Direct Inc., also known as Maximizer Health Products Inc., which produces ExtenZe, will also stop making unsubstantiated advertising claims, honor refund requests and eliminate lead in their pills, which was making customers sick, Susan Kang Schroeder said.
Schroeder said the company couldn't back up its claim that the pills caused users' penises to grow 27%.
The subsequent investigation, she said, revealed that the sickness was being caused by the product's lead content, which was beyond legal limits.
