Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 149 / Friday, August 2, 2013 / Notices The Federal Trade Commission (‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) has accepted, subject to final approval, an agreement containing a consent order from ReliefMart, Inc., a corporation (‘‘respondent’’). The proposed consent order has been placed on the public record for thirty (30) days for receipt of comments by interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the agreement and the comments received, and will decide whether it should withdraw from the agreement or make final the agreement’s proposed order. This matter involves respondent’s marketing and sale of memory foam mattresses. According to the FTC’s complaint, respondent represented that its mattresses do not contain volatile organic compounds (‘‘VOCs’’), have no VOC off-gassing, and lack the odors commonly associated with memory foam. The complaint alleges that respondent did not possess and rely upon a reasonable basis substantiating these representations when it made them. Thus, the complaint alleges that respondent engaged in deceptive practices in violation of Section 5(a) of the FTC Act. The Commission does not typically challenge subjective claims, such as smell.2 However, a consumer acting reasonably under the circumstances is likely to interpret representations that a memory foam mattress lacks the common smell associated with memory foam to mean that the mattress is free of VOCs. The proposed consent order contains two provisions designed to prevent respondent from engaging in similar acts and practices in the future. Part I addresses the marketing of VOC-free mattresses. It prohibits respondent from making zero-VOC claims unless the VOC emission level is zero micrograms per meter cubed or the company possesses and relies upon competent and reliable scientific evidence that their mattresses contain no more than a trace level of VOCs based on the Green Guides’ guidance on making free-of claims.3 Part II addresses VOC claims, odor-free claims and comparative odor claims, environmental benefit or attribute claims, and certain health claims made about mattresses. It prohibits such representations unless the representation is true, not misleading, and substantiated by competent and reliable scientific evidence. Parts III though VI require Relief-Mart to: Keep copies of advertisements and materials relied upon in disseminating any representation covered by the order; provide copies of the order to certain personnel, agents, and representatives having supervisory responsibilities with respect to the subject matter of the order; notify the Commission of changes in its structure that might affect compliance obligations under the order; and file a compliance report with the Commission and respond to other 1 In particular, the written request for confidential treatment that accompanies the comment must include the factual and legal basis for the request, and must identify the specific portions of the comment to be withheld from the public record.
