FTC sues " detox " foot pad marketers.

The Federal Trade Commission has charged Yehuda ( " Juda " ) Levin,

Baruch Levin, and their Xacta 3000 Inc. with deceptive advertising.

According to the complaint, the defendants claimed that applying

Kinoki Foot Pads to the soles of the feet at night would remove heavy

metals, metabolic wastes, toxins, parasites, chemicals, and cellulite

from their bodies. The ads also claimed that use of the foot pads

could treat depression, fatigue, diabetes, arthritis, high blood

pressure, and a weakened immune system. [FTC charges marketers of

When applied to the feet, foot pads darken, which marketers claim is

evidence that toxins are being drawn out from the body. However,

investigators have demonstrated that the darkening is caused by

contact with moisture from any source and has nothing to do

with " toxins. " [barrett S. The " detox " foot pad scam. Device Watch,
