FTC AMENDS COMPLAINT IN "CORAL CALCIUM" CASE FTC has approved the filing of an amended complaint in the matter of Direct Marketing Concepts, et al. In the original complaint, FTC charged defendants with deceptively marketing a coral calcium product called "Coral Calcium Daily," and an herbal supplement cocktail called "Supreme Greens with MSM." Through the amended complaint, FTC has added a new defendant, Robert Maihos, and three new relief defendants, Lisa Stern, Steven Ritchey, and BP International. The amended complaint modifies a count alleging that defendants Direct Marketing Concepts and ITV Direct, Inc. caused consumers to incur unauthorized charges in connection with the sale of Coral Calcium. NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has "reason to believe" that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. A complaint is not a finding or ruling that the defendant has actually violated the law. Each case will be decided by the court.

NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has "reason to believe" that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest.
