BlueHippo blues

Maryland-based BlueHippo has been raising the ire of consumers across the country for years.

Yesterday, the Federal Trade Commission announced it reached a settlement with the company over allegations that it took consumers money without providing the electronics purchased. BlueHippo didn’t admit to doing anything wrong, but agreed to pay $3.5 million to possibly $5 million to burned consumers.

If you missed it, read consumer reporter Liz Kay’s story on the settlement — as well as who is eligible for restitution.
