Özet

In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair acts and practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent agreement, accepted subject to final Commission approval, would require, among other things, the marketers of self-defense products to disclose that their MACE product may not be effective against armed assailants or against enraged, drugged, or intoxicated people. The order also would require the company to substantiate any future claims it makes about any attribute of any self-protection product, and to send a notice of the settlement to distributors and consumers.
