Dyson Ltd., the British engineering company famous for its iconic vacuum cleaners, lost a court appeal to overturn European Union rules it said created “misleading” energy labeling of products.
The EU General Court in Luxembourg on Wednesday said it “dismisses Dyson’s action in its entirety, thereby upholding the rules put in place by the commission in the contested regulation.”
