Under the Premerger Notification

Rules

Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15

U.S.C. § 18a, as added by Title II of the

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust

persons contemplating certain mergers

or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade

Act permits the agencies, in individual

cases, to terminate this waiting period to

its expiration and requires that notice of

this action be published in the Federal

Register.

The following transactions were

granted early termination of the waiting

period provided by law and the

Analysis of Proposed Consent Order

The Federal Trade Commission has

accepted, subject to final approval, an

agreement to a proposed Consent Order

(‘‘proposed order’’) from 2943174

Canada Inc., also doing business as

United Research Center, Inc., and its

principal, Patrice Runner.

The proposed order has been placed

on the public record for sixty (60) days

for receipt of comments by interested

persons. Comments received during this

period will become part of the public

record. After sixty (60) days, the

Commission will again review the

agreement and the comments received

and will decide whether it should

withdraw from the agreement or make

final the agreement’s proposed order.

This matter concerns print

advertisements for proposed

respondents’ Svelt-PATCH, a purported

weight loss product The Commission’s

complaint alleges that proposed

respondents engaged in deceptive

advertising in violation of Sections 5

and 12 of the FTC Act by making

unsubstantiated claims that: (1) SveltPATCH controls appetite; (2) SveltPATCH significantly increases human

metabolism; (3) Svelt-PATCH

significantly reduces body fat; (4) SveltPATCH causes significant weight loss;

(5) Svelt-PATCH causes long-term or

permanent weight loss; and (6) SveltPATCH lowers serum cholesterol levels.

The complaint further alleges that

proposed respondents made a false

claim that clinical evidence proves that

Svelt-PATCH causes users to lose

weight.

The proposed order contains

provisions designed to remedy the

violations charged and to prevent

proposed respondents from engaging in

similar acts in the future.

Paragraph I of the proposed order

prohibits proposed respondents from

claiming that Svelt-PATCH or any other

product or program: (1) controls

appetite; (2) increases human

metabolism; (3) reduces body fat; (4)

causes weight loss; (5) causes long-term

or permanent weight loss; and (6)

reduces cholesterol; (7) provides any

weight loss, fat loss, weight regulation,

weight control, or weight maintenance

benefit, unless, at the time the
