Comtrad Industries, Inc.; 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 prohibit, among other things, the Midlothian, Virginia-based company from misrepresenting, in connection with any product for use in the storage of food, the product's comparative or absolute ability to refrigerate or cool food items or medicines or to maintain proper cold storage temperatures; the product's comparative or absolute ability to heat or warm food items; the product's comparative or absolute ability to hold its cooling capacity after being unplugged from a power source; or the effect of operating the product off a car battery when the car is not running. The agreement settles allegations stemming from advertisements for Comtrad's ``Koolatron'' thermo-electric cooler.
