May 24, 2004
ConsumerAffairs.com today moved for dismissal of Life Alert's lawsuit accusing the consumer Web site of libel, unfair competition and trademark infringement. A June 23 hearing is scheduled before Judge Rita Miller.

In its Los Angeles Superior Court filing, ConsumerAffairs.com argued that it was exercising its First Amendment rights through its publication of consumers' comments about their experiences with the home alarm service. Also, the filing said Life Alert "could not demonstrate a probability of prevailing on any of its causes of action."

ConsumerAffairs.com's filing argued that, because of increasing concern with consumer scams against the elderly, Life Alert's activities are a legitimate public issue.
