Wonder when Jay Cutler will be next on this class action lawsuit for his Jay Cutler Signature Energy bands that sell for measly $59.99 each

Power Balance Bracelets Forced to Pay $57 Million, Expected to Close Shop
Power Balance -- the company that allegedly duped athletes into believing its bracelets could provide super-human strength -- is about to take a $57 million dollar hit in a lawsuit filed by people who called BS on the product ... TMZ has learned.
As we previously reported, a class action suit was filed in federal court in L.A. back in January ... alleging consumers were duped into believing the hologram-embedded band was scientifically proven to enhance balance, flexibility and strength. There was just one small problem -- there was never any hard evidence to back those claims.
Now, sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ ... the company has reached a settlement worth $57.4 million, intended to compensate all those who were misled into buying the product.
And it gets worse for PB -- we're told the company will be declaring bankruptcy and plans to fold up shop altogether.
The Power Balance bracelets CRUSHED IT when they first appeared on the scene a few years ago -- with superstars like Drew Brees and Shaq vouching for the product.
Turns out ... size, strength and talent can't be sold in stores.

And all they really had to do was re-word their advertising enough before they went live and never would have been through this mess.
