Résumé

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 Florham Park, New Jersey-based company from misrepresenting, with respect to any product involving the storage or preparation of food, the risk of buildup of harmful or unsafe levels of bacteria on food items defrosted, thawed, prepared, or stored using the product; the amount of time it may take to defrost, thaw, or prepare food items using the product; the process by which the product achieves any claimed defrosting, thawing, or preparation times; or the existence, contents, validity, results, conclusions, or interpretations of any test, study, or research. The agreement settles allegations stemming from advertisements for Premier's ``Miracle Thaw'' food thawing tray.
