DA nixes San Diego DUI breathalyzer
If you've been depending on a San Diego DUI breathalyzer from Sharper Image to tell you if you're too drunk to drive in San Diego, your trust has been misplaced -- but you may be in for some money.
Monterey County District Attorney Dean Flippo announced Friday that his office has reached a settlement with the Sharper Image Corp. for falsely advertising the accuracy of a line of breathalyzers. Under the terms of the settlement, the corporation will pay a $100,000 penalty and reimburse consumers who purchased the devices, a restitution that could amount to $1.2 million.
The case involved Sharper Image's advertising and sales of a digital breath alcohol tester, a personal device that purportedly measured a consumer's breath alcohol level. Marketed under the model numbers BT 300, BT 301, and BT 302, the devices were said to be "accurate to .001 percent blood-alcohol level.
The case was initiated by the San Diego City Attorney's Consumer Protection Unit after a San Diego city employee compared the DUI device's results to a San Diego DUI breath tester used by the San Diego DUI police department during a San Diego drunk driving training program. According to the complaint, joined by the district attorney's office, the San Diego DUI breath test gadget was not accurate.
