The Federal Trade Commission has taken action against six Internet marketers who allegedly sold a variety of mechanical devices, herbal products, and other dietary supplements to treat or cure cancer, HIV/AIDS, arthritis, hepatitis, Alzheimer’s, diabetes and many other diseases.
Settlements the FTC reached require those companies to refrain from making false and misleading claims about the products, and in at least one case, to pay a $150,000 fine.
The FTC agreed to settle charges with the following companies: Panda Herbal International Inc., Bensalem, PA and its owner, Everett L. Farr III; ForMor Inc., Conway, AR, doing business as ForMor International, and its president, Stan Gross; Michael Forrest, doing business as Jaguar Enterprises of Santa Ana, CA; MaxCell BioScience Inc., Broomfield, CO, also doing business as Oasis Wellness Network, and its president, Stephen Cherniske; Robert C. Spencer and Lisa M. Spencer, doing business as Aaron Co., Palm Bay, CO.
The agency did not settle with one company named in the complaint. The FTC has taken the case against Western Dietary Products Co., Blaine, WA and its owners Marvin and Miguelina Beckwith, to U.S. District Court in Seattle.
