Attorney General Kelly A. Ayotte announced today that New Hampshire consumers who purchased any "healing instrument" from The Gentle Wind Project between January 1, 2003 and September 14, 2006, can make a claim for reimbursement or restitution. A Consent Decree and Order issued by the Maine Superior Court includes restitution for New Hampshire consumers.
The Gentle Wind Project is a Maine corporation which has also done business in New Hampshire. It sold "healing instruments" to people all over the world which it claimed would heal various ailments.
In order to be eligible for restitution, claims must be in writing, and must include the following information: 1) the name of the instrument purchased; 2) date of purchase; 3) cost; and 4) proof of payment. Proof of payment may be in the form of a cancelled check, an invoice, or any other document that shows that the item was purchased during the relevant time period. Claims must be submitted no later than October 20, 2007 to:
Assistant Attorney General Carolyn A. Silsby
Office of the Maine Attorney General
6 State House Station
Augusta, ME 04333-0006

Each claimant will be notified of the decision on his or her claim after the expiration of the claim period. Those who are entitled to restitution will be paid on a pro rata basis from a fund set up for that purpose pursuant to a Consent Decree and Order issued on August 15, 2006 by the Maine Superior Court in State of Maine and Attorney General v. The Gentle Wind Project, et al.
Attorney General Ayotte said "I urge all New Hampshire consumers who meet the criteria to take advantage of the State of Maine's settlement and to make a claim for restitution through that office."
