Bayer HealthCare has agreed to pay $3.2 million to settle an FTC suit charging it ran misleading ads about One-A-Day WeightSmart vitamins, part of a government crackdown on diet pill makers that has produced three other settlements since October. The FTC charged that Bayer's ads make an unsupported claim that One-A-Day WeightSmart's green tea extract speeds up metabolism. A consent order between the FTC and a Bayer predecessor requires that all health claims be supported by reliable scientific evidence.
