RE: Ab Energizer Belt, purchased from Wal-Mart, Aiken, SC - shocked by belt - received small burns

Dear Sirs,

On march 2 of this year I purchased one of the Ab Energizer Belts from the Walmart in Aiken South Carolina. After using the belt one time I realized that this is a true FAT BURNER. I had the belt on and after about 4-5 minutes of wearing the belt it began to shock me so bad that I thought I would pass out before getting it off. I finally got the belt removed and I had small burns on my stomach from the shocking of the belt. It has been 21/2 months since this happened and I still have the scars from the burns.

I filed a liability claim with Walmart and I am in the process of trying to settle this with Ab Energizer. I heard this week that the Government was suing them and I support this totally. Actually I would love to be a witness that the belts are useless unless your looking for an injury.

Thank you for your time,

Mrs. Chauncey
