This is very interesting, and leads me to believe the pending federal action in Connecticutt involves much larger issues than just Dr. Raymond Taylor of Louisville, KY.
What we have now is an appearance entered by an antitrust and Federal Trade Commission expert. That would seem to indicate that CTTC and its legal team now believe that there may be another manufacturere of medical devices, or some other entity tied to the industry behind all of this and Raymond Taylor's activities.
"The Division of Enforcement has reviewed your submissions dated September 30, 2003; December 5, 2003; and March 15, 2004; which you filed pursuant to Part XIII of the above-referenced order issued on July 24, 2003, to show the manner and form of the compliance with the order by the respondents Snore Formula, Inc.; Dennis H. Harris, M.D.; and Ronald E General.
As you know, the staff determined that certain advertisements attached as an exhibit to the submission of March 15, 2004, make health benefit claims for dietary supplements for which Part III of the order requires substantiation. In lieu of submitting substantiation for these claims, you have confirmed that the respondents have stopped disseminating this exhibit, and have ceased promotion of their products."
