Comments:
RE: Business Opportunity Rule, R511993 I have been a Shaklee Distributor for 35 1/2 years, and now that I am turning 80 years old this year, my husband (age 83) and I depend on this business to help us with a supplemental income in addition to our Social Security checks. May I express my very, very strong opposition to the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993. Shaklee Corporation International has a policy of 90% buyback policy for products, including the Member Kit, purchased by a distributor within the last two years. Most of my consumers are just that, consumers; and Shaklee gives a money-back guarantee for most of our products if the consumer is not fully satisfied for any reason. The ten reference requirement also would be a very difficult situation for us to handle. With the Privacy Act, it would seem the feasible thing not to have to give out personal information about other Distributors (reference: the proposed rule which would require disclosure of a minimum of 10 prior purchasers nearest to the prospective purchaser.) We are depending on your help in this endeavor to protect our interests in helping us stay in business for another decade or more depending on how long we live. Thank you for your work to protect consumers as well as businesses over the years. And thank you for your time in considering these brief comments.
