AG: Window Film Is Not Hurricane Protection

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's Office is investigating several companies selling "window film" as protection against hurricane-force winds.

In her weekly email newsletter, Bondi said that consumers in Florida should be wary of claims some companies are making about the strength and durability of window films.

The Florida Building Commission has not approved window film as a form of hurricane protection, Bondi wrote, adding that "therefore, it cannot be advertised as offering hurricane protection."

With hurricane season starting Saturday, Bondi said that her office has entered into eight settlement agreements so far to resolve these alleged practices.
