This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

I recently ran into this issue with a coffee pot. I was specifically hunting for a coffee pot with an adjustable temperature warmer. Ordered one that specifically stated that in the description, only to receive a coffee pot that did not have that feature. Checked the model number on the box versus the listing, and it's the same. Then I saw the fine print: we are not responsible for inaccurate product information.
They are absolutely responsible for that, fuck em
Too fucking right, send the fucker back
I have half a packet of mints in my car. Going to put them up on eBay and sell them as immortality drugs. Well see how that works out.
