From Consumer Health Digest:
Acai marketing scheme taken down.
"Austin Hilton, of Arlington, Texas, has signed a consent agreement
under which his companies must stop shipping unauthorized orders,
refrain from making false health claims, clearly disclose their terms
of service to future purchasers, and provide refunds to customers who
were overcharged for products. The agreement also calls for payment
of $200,000 in civil penalties plus $6,200 for the State's
investigative costs and attorney's fees. Doing business as FX
Supplements.com, AcaiBerryMaxx.com, and Hilton HG, LTD, Hilton
claimed that his acai berry supplements can reduce the risk of heart
attack, Alzheimer's disease, and cancers, and could limit premature
aging. The companies also claimed that their Acai Berry Maxx product
was "naturally potent in antioxidants" and could flush up to 30
pounds of waste and toxins from the body. During the past year, the
Fort Worth Better Business Bureau received more than 500 complaints
about the company."
