FTC Levies $25 Million Fine Against Diet Pill Firms
The Federal Trade Commission today announced fines and penalties of $25 million against the makers of four popular diet pills as part of an ongoing review of products that claim to boost weight loss with special formulas and secret ingredients that have not been adequately studied.
The fines were imposed as part of a settlement with the makers of Xenadrine EFX, One-A-Day Weight Smart, Cortislim and Trimspa - popular pills with combined sales in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
