FTC Charges Marketers of Kinoki Foot Pads With Deceptive Advertising; Seeks
Funds for Consumer Redress
The Federal Trade Commission has charged the marketers of Kinoki Foot
Pads with deceptive advertising, including claims that use of the foot pads would remove toxins from the
body; treat high blood pressure, depression, and a host of other medical conditions; and lead to weight loss. In

consumers or otherwise give up their ill-gotten gains.
