C4IP Letter to House Judiciary Committee RE: SHOP SAFE Act

I've given up on receiving my refund from #bedbathandbeyond or #Angies, what used to be Angie's List. Warning, do not purchase assembly from these companies. Oh, the convertible sofa arrived, but not the assembly guy. After a long help chat, I was promised a refund. #Consumers beware.
