What does "KlearGear" sell?

Afraid there isn't too much info here on just what "KlearGear" sells.

KlearGear No-Shows Hearing, Reinstates $3,500 Non-Disparagement Clause

KlearGear is getting back into the pay-to-complain business. Despite being forced into hiding after news surfaced that it had (fraudulently) attempted to extract $3,500 from a negative reviewer using a bogus non-disparagement clause hidden in its "Terms of Sale and Use," the company continues to limp along, avoiding taking responsibility for its actions.

As KUTV.com notes, the impossible-to-locate representatives of KlearGear were no-shows in court. (h/t to Techdirt reader Howard Robinson)

Lot of junk.

And that's not just because the company big shots are all acting like assholes.

It's just junk.

to go to the web site, not that interested in seeing junk, which is what I suspected. Probably just a phishing network to get people's info for nefarious use.

Now that you've confirmed it, I thank you for letting me know I made the right choice!
