Any individual assets turned over to the FTC under the settlements also will be put in the redress fund. Finally, the settlements contain various reporting provi- sions that would assist the FTC in monitoring the defendants' compliance. The Commission vote to accept the proposed consent judgments for filing in court was 5-0. They were filed May 9 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division. These consent judgments are for settlement purposes only and do not constitute admissions by the defendants of law violations.
Consent judgments have the force of law when signed by the judge.
Copies of consent judgments, as well as other documents associated with this case, are available from the FTC's Public Reference Branch, Room 130, 6th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580. Inc. Lipo Reduction Systems, Inc. Inc. Yardpro, Inc.
