Women everywhere are griping — and now, suing — over the quality of popular LuLaRoe leggings, Snopes.com confirmed on Sunday, tracking down the company’s new “F” rating with the Better Business Bureau, a class action-seeking lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco in March by two customers, a string of LuLaRoe L.L.C./LLR Inc. emails admitting the fabric was somewhat thin, and what the fact-checking news Web site counted as hundreds of social media posts from disgruntled customers.
The problem is the leggings are sold pyramid-style, out of the homes and at parties by LuLaRoe consultants — many of whom will not take back the defective merchandise, according to media reports.
