FAUX FUR: "Prohibited from Violating the Law for 20 Years"

[presence]

The Federal Trade Commission says that a trio of retailers, including Neiman Marcus, have agreed to settle charges that they falsely claimed certain products were made of "faux'' fur, when they actually contained real fur. In addition to the upscale department store operator, the retailers include DrJays.com Inc. and Eminent Inc., doing business as Revolve Clothing.
The FTC says the companies also violated federal laws by not naming the animal that the fur came from.
The FTC also charged that The Neiman Marcus Group Inc. falsely claimed that a rabbit fur product had mink fur, and failed to disclose the fur country of origin for three fur products.


Under the proposed settlement, the retailers would be prohibited from violating the laws for 20 years.

Yes. If they would have paid a larger settlement, try could go back to violating the law in 20 days, not 20 years. They should have just bought themselves a few FTC officials and they could settle without admitting or denying the facts. Need to learn from the bankers. Fucking pikers

Huh. I wonder if Nordstroms is the same. I felt a faux fur muffler thing and it was really silky, and I was surprised, thinking they had finally figured out how to do it. I don't have a problem with real fur, but I don't want people throwing stuff at me, either. And the weather doesn't exactly call for it here.

I can think of a few people I'd like to put in a "faux fur muffler thing." It sounds like an exotic form of duct tape.:D
