Following its March 2022 order granting the Federal Trade Commission's motion for summary judgment, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida has ordered SPM Thermo-Shield, Inc. to permanently halt deceptive claims about its products' insulation and energy-saving capabilities.

The FTC's complaint against SPM Thermo-Shield and two of its officers alleged (i) false and unsubstantiated performance claims, (ii) false establishment of R-values (a product's "R-value" is the measure of its resistance to heat flow; the higher the R-value, the greater the product's insulating effectiveness), and (iii) that defendants furnished resellers with promotional materials that made false or misleading representations. The FTC brought the case back in August 2020.
