Beauty Group fined NT$250,000 for violating FTL

The FTC, at its 332nd Commissioners Meeting on March 18, 1998, decided to impose a fine of NT$250,000 against Chun Hun International Beauty Group for non-compliance with the FTC's investigation of filed complaints.

Chun Hun was accused of violating the Fair Trade Law for its bust building course. It refused, without due cause, to submit relevant documents upon request by the FTC. The FTC's decision to fine the company was made after evaluating the business operation of the company, the nature of the alleged violations, its attitude regarding the official investigation, and the impact of its non-compliance with the FTC investigation.

Upon the FTC's inquiry into the company's bust building program, the company was found to have failed to provide relevant information about the content of the program and payment. The program was conducted without guarantee or contract and without disclosure about the validity of the so called "Beauty Passport." Customers were forced to purchase health food and health care products from the company during the course. Such an act is alleged to have violated the Fair Trade Law.

The company also ignored the FTC's request to send delegates to present documents and make a statement in person. This is a violation of Article 27 of the Fair Trade Law. The FTC decided to impose a fine of NT$250,000 on the defaulting party pursuant to Article 43 of the Law.
