Comments:

We have been Shaklee Distributors for more than 25 years. Originally I became a Shaklee Distributor to earn some additional income. Now I am retired and depend upon this income for our livelihood. While I appreciate the work of the FTC to protect consumers, I believe this proposed new rule has many unintended consequences for direct sellers and that there are less burdensome alternatives available to the agency to achieve its goals. Thank you for your time in considering my comments. Sincerely, David E. Thompson
