Buy Safe America Urges FTC To Protect Consumers From Counterfeit Goods

In June of last year, the Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for Consumers Act (the INFORM Act) went into effect, granting the FTC authority to treat violations of the act as an unfair or deceptive business practice subject to significant civil penalties. On the one-year anniversary of the act’s passing, the Buy Safe America Coalition (BSAC) sent a letter to the FTC, urging the Commission to enforce the law to protect consumers from counterfeit and stolen goods that are sold through online marketplaces.
