Trapper Plus,” you may have noticed they don’t work as advertised. Well, the Federal Trade Com’n has come down heavy on the sellers at Enforma Natural Products, Inc. . (see press release, Jan. 18, 2005) If, like your Editor, you’ve got some holiday leftovers that need to be shed, you might first want to read the FTC’s Project Waistline: Amazing Claims page.
While reading about Exercise in a Bottle, I came across one of my long-standing
pet peeves, which is exemplified by this statement accompanying the FTC consent settlement:
NOTE: Stipulated final orders are for settlement purposes only and do not constitute
an admission by the defendants or respondents of a law violation.
I’m sorry, but I’d like to see admissions of law violation in consent decrees.
