False or Misleading Advertising

What is false or misleading advertising?

False or misleading advertising falls under the area of law known as deceptive trade practices. A consumer has the right to bring a lawsuit against an advertiser alleging Fraud. This lawsuit is based on whether or not the advertiser has made false representations about a product, that representations about the product were made with the advertiser’s knowledge of or negligent failure to discover the representation to be false, and that the consumer relied on the false advertisement and suffered harm as a result.

State attorneys general or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulate statutes governing claims of false advertising. Remedies may include issuing a desist order, forcing a manufacturer to stop advertising or compelling the advertiser to make corrections or disclosure to let the public know about the fraudulent information.
