MANHATTAN (CN) - Diet Coffee and its directors David Stocknoff and David Attarian make false and misleading claims for their bogus product, which they falsely advertise nationwide, on TV, radio and the Internet, the FTC claims in Federal Court.

The FTC demands restitution, disgorgement of unjust profits, an injunction and penalties.
