What the complaint alleges
The complaint says Stable Step owns the PowerStep Trademarks, including POWERSTEP, Reg. No. 3,646,937 (Class 10), and POWERSTEP PINNACLE, Reg. No. 3,405,909 (Class 10), and that Remington Products Company d/b/a Foundation Wellness is Stable Step's parent. It alleges, on information and belief, that Nesha Howell resides in Livingston, New Jersey, and it alleges that she controlled Amazon selling accounts named Basket and Shoes Are Us Store. It alleges that from August 24, 2025, through May 20, 2026, the defendants advertised, marketed, offered, distributed, and sold counterfeit PowerStep-branded orthotic inserts, namely unauthorized imitations of PowerStep Pinnacle and PowerStep Original insoles, using the PowerStep Trademarks without authorization.
It says Foundation Wellness made test purchases from both selling accounts and confirmed the products were counterfeit based on deviations from its authentic product and packaging, as listed in Attachment 1, that Amazon found invoices the accounts submitted were falsified, that Amazon blocked the accounts and refunded customers who bought the products, that the defendants have not reimbursed Amazon, and that the defendants breached Amazon's Business Solutions Agreement and Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. The prayer asks for injunctive relief, impoundment and destruction of counterfeit materials under 15 U.S.C. § 1118, damages and profits under 15 U.S.C. § 1117 (including statutory damages under § 1117(c) in the alternative), treble damages under Washington law, and related relief.
