WASHINGTON/LONDON (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which investigates allegations of deceptive advertising, has sent warning letters to eight companies to insist they distinguish in advertisements between diamonds from mines and those made in laboratories, it said on Tuesday. The FTC said it had found instances where the eight companies advertised diamond jewelry “without clearly and conspicuously disclosing that the diamonds are laboratory-created,” according to the letter.
The agency declined to identify the recipients of the letters, An unredacted version of one of the letters seen by Reuters identified that recipient as Diamond Foundry, a California company that makes laboratory diamonds, Diamond Foundry declined to discuss whether the letter would lead to changes in its marketing, “We pride ourselves on being a lab-grown diamond producer and this simple orange cufflinks point of differentiation is what our success is built on,” CEO Martin Roscheisen said in an emailed statement..
Analysts say increased production of laboratory-grown diamonds has lowered their price. The Diamond Producers Association (DPA), which represents mining companies including De Beers, Rio Tinto and Alrosa, welcomed the FTC insistence that companies distinguish between mined diamonds and those made in laboratories. “The DPA has for several months expressed serious concerns about misleading marketing communication and unsubstantiated eco claims coming from many laboratory grown diamond marketers,” said DPA Chief Executive Jean-Marc Lieberherr.
Alrosa, the world’s biggest diamond producer in carat terms said it welcomed “FTC initiatives that protect consumers from unfair or deceptive marketing practices”, “Diamonds and synthetic diamonds are aiming for different simple orange cufflinks consumers and can co-exist as two different products,” it said in an email, The world’s biggest diamond producer by value De Beers, part of Anglo American, said it was pleased by the move, adding the two kinds of diamonds were “distinct product categories.”..
De Beers has responded to pressure from laboratory-grown diamonds by tearing up its decades-old policy of only selling natural diamonds in jewelry and beginning to sell synthetic stones. It sells the lab-made diamonds for less than rivals to emphasize the difference between what it sees as fun, fashion jewelry and natural diamonds created in the earth and with a high re-sale value. The FTC, in its letters, also asked the companies to review the use of “eco-friendly” or similar terms to describe diamonds made in a laboratory. “It is highly unlikely that they can substantiate all reasonable interpretations of these claims,” the FTC said in its release.
SINGAPORE/ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - The pilots simple orange cufflinks of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX jet that crashed last month had initially followed Boeing Co’s emergency procedures but later deviated from them as they tried to regain control of the plane, the Wall Street Journal said on Wednesday, The crash killed all 157 people on board and led to a global grounding of 737 MAX jets and scrutiny of the certification process for the Boeing plane, Boeing had issued guidelines to pilots on how to disable an automated anti-stall system after a deadly crash in Indonesia in October, that were followed by an emergency airworthiness directive by the U.S, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)..
The Journal report, citing unidentified people briefed on the matter, said the pilots had initially shut off the MCAS anti-stall system that was pushing the airplane’s nose down shortly after it took off from Addis Ababa. The pilots then cranked a manual wheel in an attempt to stabilize the plane, the report said, but they eventually decided to restore power to the usual electric trim on their control yokes, likely because the manual attempt did not achieve the desired results. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Boeing declined to comment.
“We are not commenting on an active accident investigation per international protocols,” a Boeing spokesman said, The planemaker said on Monday a proposed simple orange cufflinks software enhancement package to MCAS would be submitted in the “coming weeks”, having previously said it would deliver the fix for U.S, approval by last week, A 737 pilot told Reuters last week it was “not physically easy to make large trim changes to correct, say, an MCAS input” by using the wheel, “You - or more than likely the other pilot - have to flip out a little handle and wind, much like a boat winch,” the pilot said..
