The Federal Trade Commission is sending about $905,000 in refunds to 39,977 consumers who bought Pure Green Coffee, a product that was created after Dr. Mehmet Oz talked about use of green coffee beans as a weight-loss aid on his television talk show.
President Donald Trump has nominated Oz to be administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency that would help oversee many federal laws and regulations that affect employer-sponsored health plans, such as the Affordable Care Act rules for benefits summaries and preventive care services coverage and the No Surprises Act billing rules for plan participants who get care from out-of-network providers.
