If no time is stated, the company must send the merchandise within 30 days of receiving the properly completed order. The company advertised these products nationally on TV and in print ads in publications such as TV Guide, USA Today, Family Circle and newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune, St. Louis Post- Dispatch and the Denver Post. FTC alleged that the defendants violated the Mail or Telephone Order by sending delay notices late, delaying shipment without getting the consumer's agreement to do so, or shipping merchandise after the revised shipment date and without the consumer's consent to further the delay. The Commission vote to authorize the Department of Justice to file the modified consent decree on behalf of the FTC was 4-0. This consent decree is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by the defendants of a law violation.
Consent decrees have the force of law when signed by the judge.
