In 2022 this company paid penalties totalling $266,400, after the ACCC issued two Infringement notices relating to alleged false or misleading representations made by Mosaic Brands in promoting a face mask on its Autograph Fashion brand website and a hot water bottle on its Katies brand website. On 18 August 2021, amid on-going public concern about COVID-19, Mosaic Brands advertised a KN95 mask for sale on its Autograph Fashion website. The mask was prominently described as "FDA AND CE APPROVED" in the product title. It is alleged that as a result Mosaic Brands falsely represented that the KN95 Mask product was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (USA) and Conformite Europeenne (EU), when in fact it was not. On 26 August 2021, Mosaic Brands also promoted a McGloin's-branded hot water bottle for sale on its Katies brand website, making alleged false and misleading statements that the water bottles had been "ACCC Approved", when this was not true. The ACCC does not endorse or approve any products.
