Zygon International, Inc.; Dane Spotts; Proposed Consent Agreement With Analysis To Aid Public Comment

Riepilogo

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, a Redmond, Washington-based company and its owner from making any claims about the performance, benefits, efficacy, or safety of any product or service they market without having competent and reliable substantiation to back up the claims. Zygon would also be required to pay up to $195,000 in consumer refunds. The Consent Agreement settles allegations stemming from Zygon's marketing of five products: the ``Learning Machine,'' ``SuperMind,'' ``SuperBrain Nutrient Program,'' ``Fat Burner Pills,'' and ``Day and Night Eyes.''
