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 prohibit, among other things, a Wisconsin corporation, doing business as Crestwood Company, from making false or unsubstantiated performance claims about any communication aid it offers in the future, and from making representations concerning the efficacy of the communication devices in enabling individuals with disabilities to communicate through facilitated communication, unless the respondent has competent and reliable scientific evidence to substantiate the representation.
