Orchid Technology; Proposed Consent Agreement With Analysis To Aid Public Comment

In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair acts and practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent agreement, accepted subject to final Commission approval, would prohibit, among other things, a California-based company from falsely representing that any of its computer peripheral products had been rated, reviewed or endorsed by any person or publication, and from misrepresenting the results of any test, study or evaluation in connection with marketing its computer peripheral equipment. The consent agreement also would require the respondent to possess competent and reliable evidence to substantiate performance claims.
