COMPLAINT The F'ederal Trade Commission, having reason to believe that Jordan-Simner, Inc., a corporation, and Robert Cohen, individually and as an officer of said corporation (hereinafter "respondents ), have violated Sections 5 and 12 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and that a proceeding in respect thereof would be in the public interest hereby issues its complaint, stating its charges as follows: PARAGRAPH 1. Respondent Jordan-Simner, Inc. is a Florida corporation with its principal place of business at 6852 N.W. I2th Ave., Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Respondent Robert Cohen is an officer of said corporation. He formulates, directs and controls its acts and practices, including the acts and practices hereafter set forth. His business address is the same as said corporation.
Allegations stated in the present tense include the past tense. PAR. 2. For purposes of this complaint the following definitions shall apply:
(1) A "vaginal contraceptive suppository" is a spermicidal contraceptive product which is inserted into the vagina prior to coitus. Body temperature or vaginal secretions dissolve the suppository and spread its sperm kiling agent through the vaginal cavity. Complaint 95 F.
(2) "Use effectiveness" means that level of effectiveness which is obtained when the contraceptive method is used by large numbers of subjects not all of whom follow the instructions accurately or use the contraceptive method each time they have sexual relations. (3) "Commerce" means commerce as defined in the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended.
PAR. 3. Respondents engage in the manufacturing, advertising, offering for sale and sale of pharmaceutical products, including a vaginal contraceptive suppository product named " Positive, a drug" within the meaning of Section 15 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
PAR. 4. Respondents cause their products when sold, to be shipped and distributed from their place of business to purchasers located in various other States of the United States and the District of Columbia. Respondents maintain a substantial course of trade in all their products, including their product S'Positive, in or affecting commerce. PAR. 5. In the course and conduct of their business respondents disseminate or cause to be disseminated certain advertisements concerning S'Positive (1) by United States mails, or by varous means in or having an effect upon commerce, including but not limited to insertion in newspapers or magazines of interstate dissemination for the purpose of inducing, or which are likely to induce, directly or indirectly, the purchase of S'Positive, or (2) by various means, for the purpose of inducing, or which are likely to induce, directly or indirectly, the purchase of S'Positive in or having an effect upon commerce. PAR. 6. Among the advertisements and other sales promotion materials, and typical of the statements and representations made in respondents' advertisements, but not all inclusive thereof, are the advertisements identified as Attachments I and 2. PAR. 7. Through the use of such advertisements, and others not specifically set forth herein, respondents represent, directly or by implication, that:
1. S'Positive has an extremely high use effectiveness, approaching the level of oral contraceptives (hereinafter " the pil") or intrauterine devices (hereinafter "IUD"
2. S'Positivc has novel contraceptive performance characteristics. PAR. 8. In truth and in fact:
1. S'Positive s use effectiveness is approximately that of other vaginal contraceptive products. It is not considered to have a use effectiveness on the level of the pil or IUD. JORDAN-SIMNER, INC., ET AL. 873 871 Complaint 2. S'Positive does not have novel contraceptive performance characteristics except as to the characteristics associated with its method of delivery. Its sperm kiling ingredient, nonoxynol 9, has been in use for many years in various contraceptive products. Therefore, the advertisements and representations referred to in Paragraphs Six and Seven are false, deceptive or misleading. PAR. 9. Furthermore, through the use of the advertisements referred to in Paragraphs Five and Six, respondents represent, directly or by implication, that:
I. S'Positive has an extremely high use effectiveness. 2. S'Positive has novel contraceptive performance characteristics. 3. S'Positive has undergone years of successful medical or consumer testing.
PAR. IO. At the time respondents made the representations alleged in Paragraph Nine, respondents had no reasonable basis for making those representations. Therefore, the making and dissemination of such representations constitute deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce.
PAR. II. Furthermore, respondents market or advertise S'Positive without disclosing to the purchasing public through their advertising that:
I. For best protection against pregnancy, it is essential that one follow instructions.
2. Women for whom pregnancy presents a special health risk should make a contraceptive choice in consultation with their physician.
3. Some S'Positive users experience irritation. 4. S'Positive requires a waiting period of fifteen minutes before intercourse to ensure effectiveness.
5. S'Positive is approximately as effective as vaginal foam contraceptives in actual use.
PAR. 12. The facts described in Paragraph Eleven are material with respect to the consequences which may result from use of S' Positive as a contraceptive under such conditions as are customary or usual. Respondents' failure to disclose these material facts renders the advertisements referred to in Paragraphs Five and Six false, deceptive or misleading.
PAR. 13. Furthermore, through the use of the advertisements referred to in Paragraphs Five and Six, respondents, directly or by implication, favorably compare some characteristics of S' Positive to , ,,;, .. ,.. , ,.,,, ,,,,.,, ,,,.,,,, , ..,. .. , . ,,,,,,,,.. .. . .. .,..... .. ,.,,,.. , $ .;,,..,. . ..... .,.,.$, ,..,.,,. ,,. ...$.,..,,, ,,,,,,,,.. ...,$,,,.,,,,.. ..,..,,.,,,, , ;: ,.,:$: ,,,.,, ,_....., , ,,,, . ,,,;.. .,.; . ..,...,...,,,,, .,.,,. ...:.;, .,, ,............ ,:,..!. ,:;:. ,...... , .$ .....$,,..,... ;.,,,,,,,., ,p ,,,... ,. ,,. ,,. ... . ,,,, . ,,, ... . ,.,. , ,,,. .. ,. ,, , ... ; , 9" :r. 1)",Cl$lO l$$lO 0" 1)'" cO 't1\ ",1) ",W-'- o."ert\sell . c ,""or",,\e eo"'''''''- ,,'U ,, ,.\)e1\t "see"\1\ t\)e s"",e,,\\\ or. e'\"'", ..-0 ... ;"",' .'1 , r t\)e, C - ,\rs 0'""W'v" r '; .1""c - . .
