Comment:
This is an old complaint issued by the FTC in 1993 but I thought it would had to the historical background of Weight Watchers and it's marketing practices. "The Federal Trade Commission today alleged that five of the nation's largest commercial diet-program companies (including Weight Watchers) have engaged in deceptive advertising by making unsubstantiated weight-loss and weight-loss maintenance claims and by using consumer testimonials without substantiation that the testimonials represented the typical experience of dieters on the programs."
