Yes, its bad news, but I think everyone here is blowing it up before it's anything.

If they should get sued for something, it should be their stupid win a porche crap. YES, I just won the chance to lease the car!!!

I think the people involved are getting into pizza's now. Chain $h!t like Domino's or Papa John's.

HT was not sold, tried to sell it last year, fell through. Pizza is the next step..... http://www.venutospizza.com/courierpostarticle.html

Funny how none of this is on HT corporate website, notifying their franchisees about this lawsuit..shouldnt they know about it? I just talked to a HT owner..

joostema · 14th November 2007, 11:55 AM

I was wondering if there were any updates? It doesn't state whether or not it has been dismissed of if damages were paid. Curious if anyone know the status....

Maybe that will be one of the toppings offered. Yum Yum cockroach!!

Isltan · 3rd May 2008, 09:48 PM

Is the Venutos a new endeavor because HT isn't quite working out as they had hoped? Bored with tanning perhaps? HA!!!!

Tanning Queen · 3rd May 2008, 10:28 PM

I thought the Venutos sold HT and only are working for the company now?

Isltan · 4th May 2008, 11:29 AM

Their website (Venutos) makes reference to their success w/ HT...Not sure if it was sold?

Derf · 5th May 2008, 01:02 PM

Yes, they sold HT. They are now in the pizza business. I heard they still own the factory where the booths and sales counters are built, probably still own the office complex too. They need the factory to make pizza ovens and pizza counters and everything else the pizza franchise needs to open. I heard ETS makes the pizza sauce.

BIG AL · 5th May 2008, 01:33 PM

So that is where all the old lotion they can't sell goes to, pizza sauce. Yum.

Are the Dermatologists with their campaigning actually doing the big chains a favour on the liability front?? Part of the opinion reads:

-------------------------------------------------------

The ill effects of tanning would not be material if the average consumer

knows about these ill effects, and this information would be material if the average consumer does not know about the ill effects.

Determining the materiality of a misrepresentation or omission is a question of fact, not a question of law.
