Kats Management Kats Management is a chiropractic consulting
firm based in Lincoln, Nebraska.
A company called  International Hair Removal
Systems (IHRS) had listed Kats Management as a distributor
on IHRS websites and printed materials promoting their Super Phaser
Gold "transcutaneous electrolysis" device.
Treatment with the Super Phaser
Gold or other IHRS devices should be avoided by all consumers.
There is no published data showing it can remove hair permanently.
Reputable companies usually do not associate themselves with
these devices.

On 8 November 2001, I received the following letter from Pamela
Garivay, Executive Assistant at Kats Management:
I am writing this letter to inform you of our request to have
our name taken off of your website. Specifically we wish you
to remove this link http://www.hairfacts.com/makers/etweezer/ihrs/kats.html,
and the comment on this page, http://www.hairfacts.com/makers/etweezer/ihrsinc.html,
that "consumers should avoid these businesses."
There is no reason why consumers should avoid our business.
We are a highly reputable chiropractic consulting firm, not
a chiropractic supply company. We do not appreciate the fact
that when our prospective clients do an Internet search the
third option they will get is "HAIRFACTS (WARNING!!)"
In the past we have sold the IHRS units to our clients, we
have not purchased any new units recently. Perhaps your site
can educate us about better methods and units that our clients
can use in their clinics.
Please remove our name from your website and all references
to us. If you have any questions please feel free to reply to
this e-mail. We will hope that you handle this matter professionally,
appropriately, and quickly. We do not want to have to refer
to legal counsel.
Below is part of my reply:
Thank you for your letter. I have added it to my site. Because
you were selling a hair removal device promoted illegally as
permanent, I will be leaving my warning in place. You have a
responsibility to consumers to ensure products you sell are
making legal claims. You failed to do this, and I feel consumers
need to be warned about companies that do not take steps to
protect their clients from purchasing products promoted illegally.
