Description:
A lawyer representing a company that offers a “turnkey Internet business opportunity” to sell so-called “science based Nutraceuticals” threatened suit against the operator of web site that allows users to post their experiences with companies that promote themselves through telemarketing. Although the web site owner is immune from suit under the Communications Decency Act. The marketer threatened to run up her expenses by joining her as a defendant while seeking an injunction. Public Citizen explained to the lawyer the many ways in which his threats of litigation were unsupported, and warned that both the lawyer and his client could be made to pay for such a suit.

Because Public Citizen does not accept funds from corporations, professional associations or government agencies, we can remain independent and follow the truth wherever it may lead. But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.
