82.  Dell Computer Corporation, Docket No. C-3888 (final consent Aug. 6, 1999)

83.  Micron Electronics, Inc., Docket No. C-3887 (final consent Aug. 6, 1999)

Respondents: Dell Computer Corporation, Micron Electronics, Inc.

Type:  Inconspicuous Computer Leasing Terms

Dell and Micron design, manufacture, and market computer systems for consumers and businesses. According to the FTC, the companies disseminated misleading leasing ads through television, print, or the Internet. The FTC alleged that the Dell and Micron placed material cost information in inconspicuous or unreadable fine print or omitted such information altogether.

The Commission’s settlements with Dell and Micron would require the companies to provide consumers with clear, readable, and understandable information in their lease advertising.
