An interview with Partner [John Villafranco](/Our-People/John-E-Villafranco) on the FTC’s recent issuance of nearly 700 penalty offense notices is featured *Nutrition Industry Executive* magazine*.* Villafranco details the FTC’s tactics and what companies can do should they receive a notice.

A key point Villafranco makes is that said he thinks this is primarily a workaround by the FTC to go after companies since they no long have power to collect monetary fines in federal court cases involving deceptive advertising.
