Filtration Manufacturing, Inc.; Gary L. Sewell; Horace R. Allen; Brandon R. Clausen; Analysis To Aid Public Comment

Краткое содержание

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 require, among other things, the Mobile, Alabama-based manufacturer of filters for forced-air heating systems and other respondents 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 respondents made misleading claims regarding allergy relief, airborne particle removal, and cost benefits when their filters are used in place of standard forced air system filters, in advertisements for Filtration Manufacturing's Allergy 2000 electrostatic air filter.
