To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
Copies of all complaints to the Federal Trade Commission regarding the following companies:

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,

Mr Mastropalolo,
I would like to view any complaints between 2007 and 2014 if that is not too wide a time frame?
Many thanks
Mica Jay

I did a search for “amazon.com” in our database from 2007 through 2014 and it pulled over 15,000 complaints. Would it be possible to narrow down the timeframe some more? If not, it is going to take a while (several weeks) to go through all the comments in those complaints.

Mica,
I forgot to mention, I have attached a list of product codes for you to check out. If you are interested in anything in particular from the list, let me know to narrow down the search. Thanks.
