National Advertising Division Will Refer SONO1 to the Federal Trade Commission for Failure to Respond to Inquiry
New York, NY – October 1, 2025 – Following a challenge submitted by competitor Vesync US Corporation (d/b/a Levoit), BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division will refer Shenzhen Aiweier E-commerce Co., Ltd. (d/b/a on Amazon.com as SONO1) to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for review and possible enforcement action for failure to submit a substantive response to the National Advertising Division’s (NAD) inquiry.
At issue for NAD were challenged express and implied claims that SONO1 air purifier replacement filter products, including its Cabiclean Core 200s, Core Mini, Core 200s Pet Care, and Vista 200 Air Purifier Replacement Filters, are compliant with HEPA standards and have comparable or superior performance to filters manufactured by Levoit.
Despite numerous outreach attempts, SONO1 failed to respond to NAD’s inquiry and substantiate its claims. Therefore, NAD will refer the matter to the appropriate government agency, in this case the FTC, and to the platforms on which SONO1’s advertising appeared and NAD has a reporting relationship.
