"The FTC says makers of Sensa have agreed to pay $26.5 million to settle charges they have been misleading consumers with their ads. The FTC is also announcing similar actions againt L’Occitane, which sells a "slimming” body cream; HCG Diet Direct, which sells an unproven human hormone treatment, and LeanSpa, whch promotes a “colon cleanse.” It’s all bogus, the FTC says.

It's part of an FTC effort to collect $34 million on behalf of consumers".

    i saw some commercials about this. this makes me so glad i've never taken any of those type things or never would. considering how these pills pretty much all end up in a lawsuit of some kind i really can't understand why anyone would take them.

    Good. Unfortunately, these charlatans will just take their left over profits and open up a new numbered company much like Kevin Trudeau.
