Biting back at vampfangs

There's a veritable flurry of activity on allegedly dodgy contact lens dealings at the moment. Next step on the journey is the United States, or the US to be succinct, where the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has reached a settlement with an internet marketer, his company Jokeshop and http://www.vampfangs.com/Prescription-FX-Lenses-s/278.htm to put a stop to the allegedly illegal sale of cosmetic contact lenses without prescriptions. It prohibits them from selling contact lenses without obtaining or verifying prescriptions and requires the payment of $50,000 in cash and the proceeds from the sale of a 2009 Mercedes. The rest of the $200,000 judgement against the defendants is supended because of their inability to pay. This is part of the FTC's ongoing efforts to protect consumers from the health risks from improperly used contact lenses, a practice that seems to be something of a trend around the globe at the moment.
