Copper Compression Sleeves and Pain Relief - Consumer Reports
From above linked article:
The only hitch? There’s little to no reliable scientific evidence that the copper/compression combo does what manufacturers are claiming. Which is why Tommie Copper and its founder Thomas Kallish agreed to pay $1.35 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they deceptively advertised their copper-infused garments that are priced between $29.50 and $69.50. The proposed federal court order imposes an $86.8 million judgment, which will be partially suspended upon payment of $1.35 million by the defendants. |
I agree, but why single out and prosecute Tommie Copper? There are so many bogus health claims and products on the market that the FTC could pay off the National debt if they fined all of them.
