Frank A. Latronica, Jr., et al.; Prohibited Trade Practices, and Affirmative Corrective Actions

In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent order requires, among other things, the distributor and the manufacturer of the Duram Emergency Escape Mask to possess competent and reliable scientific evidence to substantiate claims that their mask will absorb, filter out, or otherwise protect the user from any hazardous gas or fumes associated with fires, and for claims that the mask is appropriate for use in mines. In addition, the consent order requires the respondents to provide a disclosure statement on all package labels and inserts for the mask, or any substantially similar product.
