The General Prosecutor's office later sued Placker and his wife Chelsie because they allegedly violated the law on deception and unfair trade practices in Florida.

“Several consumers complained that they bought a whirlpool or a spa from the defendants who represented the accused as” like new “and in operating status, but instead received a whirlpool or a spa, which was damaged, soaked water, a rotted one Frame or a rotting soil, contained rusted parts and/or did not work, ”says the lawsuit in September in September Volusia County Circuit Court.

The General Prosecutor's office also accused the plaintiffs that customers have to remove negative online reviews on the company as a condition for receiving a partial refund.

At the beginning of this month, the Plackers concluded an agreement with Florida's Attorney General who end the legal dispute and effectively bring the company out of business, as court files show.

According to the determination signed by the couple, the plaintiffs are permanently prohibited from owning, operating or managing a business in the state of Florida.

The couple is also forbidden to work for every company that sells, renovated or builds whirlpools and spas or offers related services in Florida.

The rattles have agreed not to ask for or receive cash, checks, credit card or another payment of consumers in Florida, as court files, and they have to prohibit the ability of consumers to share honest online reviews.

According to the Attorney General, the Plackers owe the state of 471,095 US dollars in civil penalties, legal costs and consumer relief.

The rattles have presented jury -related degrees and other documents in which it is claimed that they are unable to pay this final assessment amount, said court files.

In response to this, the General Prosecutor's office agreed to “suspend” the judgment if the couple pays 10,850 US dollars by the end of the year and fulfills all other conditions of the agreement.

The Attorney General said that he would try to reinstall the full assessment amount if a judge later stated that the accused have incorrectly presented his financial situation or if he violates the agreement.

A spokesman for the General Prosecutor's office did not answer questions from news 6, in which the payment of 10,850 US dollars is distributed to consumers by the plackers or used to cover the state's investigative and legal dispute costs.

“The POS should rot in prison,” said Jaimy Piccirilli, one of the former clients.

Piccirilli told News 6 that Dylan Placker delivered a whirlpool of 2,000 US dollars to his house in Jacksonville in 2022, but had taken before the test.

The customer later found that the wooden frame of the whirlpool fist, the electronic control did not work properly and the device contained a different water pump than expected, said Piccirilli.

As Placker reports, the one -year guarantee did not honor, said Piccirilli, he had unsuccessfully tried to repair the whirlpool before dispatching it.

“There is no reason why this should not be in prison, especially since this is the second state and the second group of people he knew that was screwed by thousands of dollars,” said Piccirilli.

Before he moved to Central Florida, Placker and his wife allegedly sold defective whirlpools in Oklahoma, which prompted the state's attorney in general to sue the couple.

The Plackers were finally excluded from the sale of whirlpools in Oklahoma for a decade, and agreed to pay to former customers in this state 33,260 US dollars as part of an agreement with the Oklahoma Attorney General, as records show.

A telephone number that was previously used by Revive Spas and more was separated, and a lawyer who represented the Klagler did not answer an e -mail from News 6 that offered its customers the opportunity to comment.
