Also, fraudulent and misleading advertising should be reported to the FTC.
The more complaints, the more likely enforcement action will be. Future legislation is also effected by the volume and nature of complaints. So, by all means if she feels she was defrauded and the opportunity was misrepresented she should make a formal complaint. The Texas online form takes just a few minutes to complete for one example.
Tupperware is the stuff of fond memories. In college I came home and decided to make homemade fudge. I microwaved an old Tupperware storage container full of dark chocolate chips. Who would have thought the plastic wasn't microwave safe. I learned my lesson. The kitchen filled with toxic smoke and the chocolate was black. No dessert on that fateful night!

LOL. I remember when we got our first Radar Range, (what they called the first microwaves). My wife thought is was so neat that you could quickly boil water in them. And, of course, she decided as long as she was going to use the energy to boil water, might as well hard-boil some eggs at the same time.....

It seems like in this "industry" common sense is not all that common!
