A federal judge in Phoenix ordered the promoters of EuroTrim Diet Patches, advertised nationwide by President Reagan’s son, Michael Reagan, to stop advertising, the Postal Service said. The injunction will be in effect until the promoters can produce scientific evidence that the patches aid in weight loss, said Steve Schneringer, a postal inspector in Pasadena.

A Justice Department suit filed Sept. 26 alleges that the patch is worthless.
