Comments:
ATTN: FTC Personnel - These comments constitute our rebuttal of the submission by Avon, Inc. (Tracking No. 522418-7001)by Richard Matthews. In addition to my rebuttal comments (tracking no. 522418-13252), I note in Appendix A (Sales Leadership Bonus Structure) that the minimum order sizes and bonus percentages, as will as the bonus structure up to 3 generations, is highly leveraged and could induce particpants to hyperconsume or buy for more products than they need. So my comments (tracking no. 522418-13252),apply more than than I suspected from their earlier submittal. Again, please read the attached rebuttal comments in the light of this additional information. Sincerely, Jon M. Taylor, Ph.D., President, Consumer Awareness Institute and Advisor, Pyramid Scheme Alert - E-mail: jonmtaylor@juno.com - Web site for MLM research and guides - www.mlm-thetruth.com
