Overview
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Hydrafacial, alleging that its Syndeo skincare machine suffers from significant design flaws, including persistent clogging, excessive noise, and frequent malfunctions. The plaintiffs claim these issues disrupt the machine’s intended purpose and negatively impact the spa experience.
Alleged Issues with the Syndeo Machine
Hydrafacial marketed the Syndeo as a cutting-edge device for delivering customized facial treatments with advanced features like cloud-based software and personalized serums. However, users report encountering various defects that render the machine unreliable.
Key allegations include:
- Clogging Issues: The serum delivery system frequently clogs, halting treatments and preventing the proper application of serums.
- Excessive Noise and Vibration: The machine reportedly produces disruptive noise and vibration, creating an unpleasant experience for clients.
- Malfunctions: Additional problems include waste and leakage, faulty handpieces, defective screens, and rattling trays.
The plaintiffs argue that these defects compromise the quality of the treatments and the relaxing spa environment the machine is intended to support.
Complaints of Poor Resolution and Refund Denials
The lawsuit accuses Hydrafacial of failing to adequately address these defects. While some customers received replacement machines, these allegedly exhibited the same issues as the original units. Furthermore, Hydrafacial has not offered refunds for the defective products, leaving many spa owners frustrated and financially burdened.
In late 2023, the company acknowledged the issues, with claims that the release of the Syndeo 3.0 had resolved the defects. However, the plaintiffs assert that the problems persist even in the updated version. Online forums and message boards corroborate these claims, with many users continuing to report malfunctions in the newer models.
Legal Action Seeks Accountability and Compensation
The lawsuit aims to represent all U.S. businesses and individuals who purchased the Hydrafacial Syndeo machine. The plaintiffs are seeking compensation for financial losses, including the cost of the defective machines and lost business revenue.
The legal demands include:
- Restitution and Damages: To cover the costs incurred by affected businesses.
- Corrective Measures: An injunction to stop the sale of defective Syndeo machines and require Hydrafacial to disclose the alleged flaws to potential customers.
- Public Awareness: Corrective advertising to inform the public about the issues.
