Theos Medical Systems and Chummie’s Grand Deceit – Amazon and Costco’s Dilemma!

Continued from the previous blog entry.

Overall, the Honorable Federal Judge of the Northern District of California’s Order/Decree relating to Theos Medical Systems, Inc. and Saket Bhatia provides a rather complete validation of our complaints against them, pointing out the many ways in which they were misleading and "fooling" the public into buying Chummie products. And it is now obvious that the public were not the only ones "fooled."

We strongly suspect that this illegitimate behavior was instrumental in Theos/Chummie being perceived by Amazon as a "disruptor" in the bedwetting alarms industry. What Amazon did not know, or was unwilling to accept when it was pointed out to them, is how illegitimate Bhatia's behavior was, which very possibly resulted in Amazon making the mistake of making a commitment to purchase a substantial number of items from Theos/Chummie/Bhatia for sale by Amazon. Common sense suggests that Amazon would likely not make such a decision today, especially after the Judge's Order about Theos/Bhatia. It is also obvious that Chummie sales on Amazon have dropped substantially this year, and it is very possible that this may be another reason that Amazon may now regret having to handle its commitments on the Chummie products.

As pointed out in our blog entry just prior to this, the signing of this Judge's Order/Decree by Bhatia was delayed as long as possible, so that Bhatia could convince Costco to accept his product. Common sense again suggests that Costco would be unlikely to make such a decision today, especially after the Judge's Order about Theos/Bhatia.

We now have Amazon and Costco being swayed by Theos/Chummie/Bhatia into accepting their products through unethical means and false information that have a consent order about their continued or future use by a Federal Judge, and corrections ordered of past abuses in these areas.

How will Amazon and Costco extricate themselves from poor commitments to sell obsolete products with obsolete technology at absurd prices? Perhaps the extensive false information provided to both Amazon and Costco, including exaggerations and false “facts” about their Chummie products by Theos Medical Systems and Saket Bhatia, sustained and developed over several years, can be used by both Amazon and Costco to extricate themselves from a costly commitment that was very probably influenced by this fake information.

The poor value of Chummie’s bed-wetting alarms as compared to some others is very evident in our prior blog entry:

Abusing and Misinterpreting Amazon Reviews: The Case Against Chummie, Dry-Knight and Lil' Jumble.

We continue to wonder why any moral, ethical and sensible buyer would want to conduct any business with Theos Medical Systems or purchase their Chummie products.
