AAF-McQuay, Inc. d/b/a AAF International; Analysis To Aid Public Comment

In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent agreement, accepted subject to final Commission approval would, among other things, require the Baltimore- based manufacturer of filters for forced-air heating systems to possess substantiation for all performance claims, health or other benefits claims, and efficacy claims made for any air cleaning product in the future. The agreement settles allegations that the respondent made misleading claims regarding allergy relief, airborne particle removal, and cost benefits when its filters are used in place of standard forced air system filters, in advertisements for AAF's Dirt Demon and ElectroKlean brand filters.
