 | | STP Corporation, and its parent corporation, First Brands Corporation, have agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they violated a 1976 FTC order under which they are prohibited from making false and unsubstantiated claims for motor oil additives. |
 | | The filing also alleges the defendants falsely represented that STP Engine Treatment with XEP2 provides protection from engine wear and, in particular, engine wear at start-up, which extends the life of most engines, and that tests prove these claims. |
 | | The proposed settlement of the current charges would require STP to pay the $888,000 civil penalty within 10 days of the date the court approves the settlement. |
