FTC Settlement Requires Internet Marketer to Stop Selling Cosmetic Contact Lenses Without Prescriptions
The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, has reached a settlement with an Internet marketer and its manager that will put a stop to their alleged illegal practice of selling cosmetic contact lenses to consumers without prescriptions. The settlement with Da Young Kim and Gothic Lens LLC requires them to pay a civil penalty of $50,000. Kim will sell her 2008 BMW in partial satisfaction of the judgment, and the rest will suspended because of the defendants’ inability to pay.
