Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–April 27, 2010. Starting April 30, an administrator working for the Federal Trade Commission will mail more than 140,000 refund checks totaling about $6 million to consumers who bought certain “For Women Only” brand dietary supplements from TV home shopping channel QVC, Inc. Last year, QVC settled charges that it violated a 2000 FTC order by falsely claiming that the supplements would cause consumers to lose substantial amounts of weight and would allow them to eat fatty and high-carbohydrate foods without increasing their body fat. QVC was required to pay $6 million for consumer refunds as the result of a settlement agreement approved by the court in March 2009.
