"Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, Prevent Blindness Ohio and the Ohio Optical Dispensers Board are warning consumers about the danger of over-the-counter sales of decorative contact lenses during this Halloween season. According to the Optical Dispensers Board, the number of consumer complaints filed regarding the illegal sale of cosmetic contact lenses and the number of resulting cease and desist orders issued to violating businesses have shown a sharp increase in the past two years," says a press release on PressZoom. "In fiscal year 2009, the board issued 13 cease and desist orders based on consumer complaints. In FY 2010, 15 such orders were issued. So far in FY 2011 (just since July 1, 2010), 10 cease and desist orders have been issued – on pace to far surpass previous years."
