Reference - Miracle Pill

Multiple Choice

Reference - Miracle Pill. Katie advertised that she had developed a pill for women that would result in weight loss, wrinkle loss, and improved vitality; and for men would result in all those things, plus hair growth. Her television advertisement showed miracle results allegedly obtained by consumers. Katie cautioned, however, that ingestion of the pill for six months was required before results would be evident. The pill was wildly popular. The Federal Trade Commission, however, investigated and determined that Katie had failed to have a reasonable basis for the claims she made in advertisements. Katie claimed that she was merely involved in the use of generalities and clear exaggerations. The Commission disagreed and issued a formal administrative complaint against her. After a hearing, an order was issued by the Federal Trade Commission requiring that Katie stop advertising and selling the pills. After losing all appeals, Katie continued selling the pills until she was fined by the Federal Trade Commission. She has since left the country and cannot be located. Who would have presided over the hearing involving the administrative complaint filed against Katie by the Federal Trade Commission?

A) A state circuit court judge
B) A federal district court judge
C) An administrative law judge
D) A panel of commissioners of the Federal Trade Commission
E) All the commissioners of the Federal Trade Commission
