In
addition, the company will broadcast corrective notices on television
and will cease using unsubstantiated claims in the sale and promotion
of the Velform Sauna Belt, as part of a consent agreement reached
with the Competition Bureau. The Bureau’s concerns involved the sale and promotion of the product
through television commercials (including infomercials), the
company’s Web site and Canadian retailers. The company’s commercials’
claimed the product, a waist belt, would melt away fat and cellulite,
resulting in significant and effortless weight loss. The Commissioner
of Competition concluded that these representations were false and
misleading under the Competition Act. The claims were not based on
adequate and proper testing as required. The company relied on third-party information as to the performance
of the Velform Sauna Belt without conducting its own independent
testing. “Businesses must exercise caution when making performance claims to
the public that are based solely on third party information,” said
Andrea Rosen, Deputy Commissioner of Competition.
