Lela Warren under the name Glittersniffer Cosmetics has committed fraud against her customers by:
Selling unsafe product
- advertised loose pigments as eye makeup (showed photos of the colors modeled on eyes) that she knew were not approved for use on or near the eyes
- sold soap dyes not approved for cosmetic use and intended only for use in a diluted product such as soap
- created eye makeup using ingredients that were labeled for personal use only (they had been opened and repackaged by the distributor, thus nullifying their batch certification)
Selling tainted product
- regularly mixed pigments on and around unclean household surfaces
- dog hairs found in pigments
- photos posted of product handling without the use of gloves on unclean surfaces
Scamming Charities
- used the names of established charities (ASPCA, GLAAD & TWLOHA) to sell productwithout obtaining permission
- took in money under the names of charities (501c and individuals) that was never turned over
Engaging in Unethical Behavior
- refusing to communicate with some customers she doesn't like despite recalling her product
- admitted to giving priority to customers who are "nice" to her
- harassed and threatened former customers for withdrawing their public support
- giving PayPal the run-around by funneling payments through her husband's account instead of using her own (currently withdrawn by over $1,000 due to claims against her)
- selling off recalled, unsafe and tainted product (see above) instead of destroying it.
