[PSA] The FTC is accepting public comment on their decision for the Sunday Riley review scandal

Beauty Tips For Body Care
As many of you know, Sunday Riley was caught writing fake reviews of their products on Sephora (scroll down to Sunday Riley). Here is the official summary of the complaint (it's particularly damning seeing the email content). Unfortunately, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) only gave them a light wrist slap as punishment and they are not being fined. In other words, Sunday Riley is not being fined for illegally (I presume?) misleading customers and only has to promise not to do it again (at least for 20 years) *eye roll*.Interestingly, two commissioners (Chopra and Slaughter) have come out with a public statement criticizing the FTC's decision as well.If you didn't agree with the FTC's decision and you want to do something about it, your voice can be heard (by November 25th at the latest!)! I noticed the following statement on the FTC site (bold emphasis added):The Commission vote approving the administrative complaint and proposed consent order in the Sunday Riley matter was 3-2, with Commissioners Rohit Chopra and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter voting no. Commissioner Chopra issued a separate statement, in which he was joined by Commissioner Slaughter. The public may submit comments on the proposed consent order through Regulations.gov, which will be available to accept comments starting Friday, October 25, 2019. Prior to publication in the Federal Register, the public may email comments to [secretary@ftc.gov](mailto:secretary@ftc.gov).Comments will be accepted for 30 days from publication in the Federal Register, after which the Commission will decide whether to make the proposed consent order final. Comments received will be posted on Regulations.gov.- SourceI wanted to share this with folks as there seem to be a lot of disgruntled people here. I do want to point out that I'm aware many brands do these kinds of practices (and haven't been caught) but complaining about the FTC's decision might actually help to set a precedent for all brands if there are more serious consequences to this kind of manipulation. Chopra and Slaughter's statement speaks to this somewhat.
