Comments:
Federal Trade Commission/Office of the Secretary, Room H-135 600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington,DC 20580 I am writing to express strong opposition to the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993. I understand the Federal Trade Commission must protect the public from "unfair and deceptive acts or practices." But the rule as proposed would make it very difficult for me to operate my business as a Shaklee Independent Distributor. The proposed rule calls for the release of any information regarding lawsuits that allege misrepresentation or unfair or deceptive practice over a 10 year period.50 year old company such as Shaklee would be at a disadvantage compared to start-upcompanies, which may not yet have experience litigation but are far more likely to have legal issuses. I have been a Shaklee Distributor for more than 35 years. I became a Shaklee Dist. because I love the Company's products and wanted to earn some additional income working from home. Now my family depend upon this extra income to supplement out budget. Thank you for considering my comments. Sincerely, Helen Simard
