The settlements stem from complaints alleging Google paid radio personalities to endorse and talk about their personal experiences using the Pixel 4. At the time, the phone wasn’t available and many radio DJs had not used it.
The ads ran more than 23,000 times across 10 media markets, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, Bonta’s office said.
“Google tried to take shortcuts in advertising its products, and now it’s paying the price,” Bonta said in a statement. “Asking DJs to share personal experiences about a product they had not used is misleading — and a violation of state consumer protection laws.
Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and Texas and the Federal Trade Commission were part of the settlements.
