COMPLAINT The Federal Trade Commission, having reason to believe that the party named in the caption hereof, and hereinafter more fully described, has violated and is now violating the provisions of Section 2(d) of the 1122 '. FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION DECISIONS Complaint 84 F.T.C.
the Commission’s cease and desist order. The Commission has determined that this matter is indistinguishable from the matter of Wilbanks Carpet Specialists, Inc., et al., Docket 8933, inasmuch as the record presents insufficient evidence that a consumer warning is a necessary or appropriate means for the termination of the acts or practices complained of or for the prevention of their recurrence. Having declined to order a consumer warning in the Wilbanks matter, the Commission has concluded that the same disposition is warranted herein. Accordingly, the initial decision issured by the judge should be modified in accordance with the foregoing views of the Commission, and, as so modified, adopted as the decision of the Commission: It is ordered, That the initial decision issued by the administrative law judge be modified by striking therefrom the following: Those portions of the conclusions of law which concern “consumer warning” relief (at pp. 45-47 [pp. 1112-1113 herein], sub nom. “THE REMEDY”); and the second “FURTHER ORDERED” paragraph of the order to cease and desist issued by the judge (at p. 57) [p. 1120 herein].
As so modified, the initial decision is hereby adopted.
