General Electric Corrects False Advertising Problem and Indirectly Helps With Humanitarian Effort
About two months ago, I sent a letter to General Electric and to Canadian Tire complaining about false advertising on the packaging of their GE Nighthawk Bulbs. Canadian Tire sent me an apology letter along with $15 Canadian Tire Money within a couple of weeks. I had started to lose hope about hearing from General Electric when just a couple of days ago I received a package from them.
Inside was six sets of GE Nighthawk halogen lights along with an additional GE Nighthawk headlamp:
This was definitely more than I was expecting. These sell for almost $50 each! The best part is, it looks like they fixed the false advertising problem as well. The “% brighter light” on the back of the packaging now matches the front:
You may be asking yourself: “Dollar Defender, what are you going to do with all these lights?”. Great question!
In May, I will be going to Parramos, Guatemala with a small team to build homes for a few needy families as well as build an extension to the local school. My team will be running a silent auction to raise money to be able to build more homes as well as raising money for food distribution while down there. I will therefore be auctioning off these lights to help raise funds! Click here to find out all about the humanitarian effort in Guatemala.
great work! good luck with your upcoming trip!
Thanks, Christie. I like your online portfolio: http://www.graffictraphic.com. Some very neat stuff there!
wow amazing from both GEgenerosity and your humanitary help.
It seems to be a good cause. Let me know where can I send some money for contributing to Guatemala project. I may scrap few extra DLLARS for Dollar defender.
Good job and good luck to raise plenty of money for school extention in Guatemala!!!!!!
If the silent auction is in the GTA, can you E-mail me details? If it is for charity, I would like to attend.
Very noble……I like that you give back to different communities!
