Kloiadka fig/walnut bars are total scam made in China and not in California as they claim.
COMPLAINANT REPORT NOTES: The consumer has firsthand knowledge that the operator of "Kloiadka" is engaging in deceptive marketing, false advertising of product origin, and extreme price gouging. SUBJECT COMPANY: - Brand Name: Kloiadka (Kloiadka.com) - Product: Kloiadka Fig and Walnut Bars - Advertised Price: Approximately $49 per box - Marketing Platforms Used: YouTube, Social Media ads REPORT DETAILS & SPECIFIC VIOLATIONS: 1. False Country of Origin Claims (Deceptive Marketing) The business heavily advertises on YouTube claiming that their premium fig and walnut bars are manufactured locally in California, USA. This is a complete deception. The products are manufactured overseas in Kunming, China. The advertisements deliberately obscure the original brand names and feature recycled footage to mislead American consumers into believing they are buying a domestic, premium artisanal product. 2. Substandard Production & Health Concerns Firsthand inspection of the actual manufacturing facility in Kunming, China, reveals that the factory conditions do not meet basic sanitary and cleanliness standards required for food manufacturing. Consumers have independently reported a strange, metallic taste, raising potential food safety and health risks for an item marketed as a clean, premium snack. 3. Predatory Price Gouging and Product Misrepresentation The company implements an extreme markup, charging premium prices (~$49) for low-cost, mass-produced items. While the video advertisements showcase large, appetizing, gourmet-sized portions to induce sales, the actual product delivered to consumers consists of tiny, shrink-wrapped 5-gram bars that bear no resemblance to the promotional media. 4. Lack of Customer Support and Refund Fraud Consumers report that the company operates a classic "fly-by-night" e-commerce scam—ignoring customer service inquiries, refusing refunds, and providing no legitimate domestic corporate address or contact avenues once payment is processed. REQUESTED ACTION: We request that the FTC and BBB investigate Kloiadka's deceptive advertising practices on YouTube, issue consumer warnings, and coordinate with ad platforms to remove these predatory commercials to prevent further financial harm to the public.
