West Virginia Attorney General McGraw Files Suit Against Brag Women's Center, LLC
December 19, 2007 -- West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw today announced that he has filed a lawsuit against a health spa for failing to comply with the Health Spa Rule, Title 142, Series 13. According to this legislative rule, every health spa in the state must register with the Attorney General’s office, provide the office with a copy of its West Virginia business registration certificate and a valid membership contract, and most have to also post a $50,000 bond.
Attorney General McGraw alleges that Brag Women’s Center, LLC, doing business as Spencer Curves, owned by Barbara G. Fetty, and located at 320 Main Street, Spencer, West Virginia, has failed to register with his office and provide the supporting documentation.
"It is just unfortunate that some businesses fail to follow simple rules and that these litigious actions must be taken," said Attorney General McGraw.
In its complaint, Attorney General McGraw is requesting the court to enjoin the businesses from operating until they have complied with the legislative rule, pay consumer restitution and pay civil penalties and costs.
