degradeable’’ without qualification on 

the front of the package. Tender’s 

website and promotional materials also 

made the claim. According to the FTC 

complaint, respondent represented that 

Fresh Bath Wipes and Fresh Bath Travel 

Wipes and their packages will 

completely break down and return to 

nature, i.e., decompose into elements 

found in nature, within a reasonably 

short period of time after customary 

disposal. The complaint alleges 

respondent’s biodegradable claim is 

false because a substantial majority of 

total household waste is disposed of 

either in landfills, incinerators, or 

recycling facilities and these customary 

disposal methods do not present 

conditions that would allow for the 

wipes and their packaging to completely 

break down and return to nature, i.e., 

decompose into elements found in 

nature, within a reasonably short period 

of time. The complaint further alleges 

that respondent failed to have 

substantiation for the biodegradable 

claim. The proposed consent order 

contains provisions designed to prevent 

respondent from engaging in similar 

acts and practices in the future. 

Part I.A of the proposed order 

prohibits respondent from making a 

representation that certain of its 

products are degradable unless the 

representation is true, not misleading, 

and substantiated by competent and 

reliable scientific evidence. Part I.B 

prohibits respondent from making any 

other environmental benefit claim about 

such products, unless at the time the 

representation is made, it is truthful and 

not misleading, and substantiated by 

competent and reliable evidence, which 

when appropriate must be competent 

and reliable scientific evidence. 

Part II of the proposed order requires 

respondent to specify whether its 

degradability claim applies to the 

product, package, or components of 

either. 

Parts III through VI require 

respondent to keep copies of relevant 

advertisements and materials 

substantiating claims made in the 

advertisements; to provide copies of the 

order to certain of their personnel; to 

notify the Commission of changes in 

corporate structure that might affect 

compliance obligations under the order; 

and to file compliance reports with the 

Commission and respond to other 

requests from FTC staff. Part VII 

provides that the order will terminate 

after twenty (20) years under certain 

circumstances. 

The purpose of this analysis is to 

facilitate public comment on the 

proposed order. It is not intended to 

constitute an official interpretation of 

the agreement and proposed order or to 

modify in any way their terms. 

By direction of the Commission.
