The FTC filed suit today against a San Antonio-based firm saying it used radio disc jockeys in 110 US cities to make false claims about their product as a weight-loss aid. Federal Trade Commission
Bureau of Consumer Protection chief Howard Beales also said he expected a federal judge to sign an order within days requiring Mark Nutritionals Inc. to strike "weight loss" from the name of its "Body
Solutions Evening Weight Loss Formula." While the commission could go after the DJs and radio stations that ran the testimonials, he said, it was instead asking "responsible media" not to run clearly
false advertisements.
