The FCC fined "DSM Parties" $1.84 million for sending unsolicited fax ads to consumers of chiropractic supplies in violation of agency "junk fax" rules, said an agency release of an Enforcement Bureau order approved as a consent agenda item at Thursday's meeting. The commission received 350 consumer complaints about Scott Malcolm, sole corporate officer of DSM Supply and Somaticare, collectively, the DSM Parties, the release said. A DSM representative had no comment.
