degradeable’’ without qualification on
the front of the package. Tender’s
website and promotional materials also
made the claim. According to the FTC
complaint, respondent represented that
Fresh Bath Wipes and Fresh Bath Travel
Wipes and their packages will
completely break down and return to
nature, i.e., decompose into elements
found in nature, within a reasonably
short period of time after customary
disposal. The complaint alleges
respondent’s biodegradable claim is
false because a substantial majority of
total household waste is disposed of
either in landfills, incinerators, or
recycling facilities and these customary
disposal methods do not present
conditions that would allow for the
wipes and their packaging to completely
break down and return to nature, i.e.,
decompose into elements found in
nature, within a reasonably short period
of time. The complaint further alleges
that respondent failed to have
substantiation for the biodegradable
claim. The proposed consent order
contains provisions designed to prevent
respondent from engaging in similar
acts and practices in the future.
Part I.A of the proposed order
prohibits respondent from making a
representation that certain of its
products are degradable unless the
representation is true, not misleading,
and substantiated by competent and
reliable scientific evidence. Part I.B
prohibits respondent from making any
other environmental benefit claim about
such products, unless at the time the
representation is made, it is truthful and
not misleading, and substantiated by
competent and reliable evidence, which
when appropriate must be competent
and reliable scientific evidence.
Part II of the proposed order requires
respondent to specify whether its
degradability claim applies to the
product, package, or components of
either.
Parts III through VI require
respondent to keep copies of relevant
advertisements and materials
substantiating claims made in the
advertisements; to provide copies of the
order to certain of their personnel; to
notify the Commission of changes in
corporate structure that might affect
compliance obligations under the order;
and to file compliance reports with the
Commission and respond to other
requests from FTC staff. Part VII
provides that the order will terminate
after twenty (20) years under certain
circumstances.
The purpose of this analysis is to
facilitate public comment on the
proposed order. It is not intended to
constitute an official interpretation of
