Governmental RegulatoryAgencies
Federal Trade Commission
(FTC)
• Created in 1914 by passage of Federal Trade Commission Act
• Original intent was to enforce anti-trust laws
• FTC authority expanded in 1938 with Wheeler-Lea Amendment
• Given power to
– Stop unfair and deceptive advertising practices
– Levy fines
• Granted FTC access to courts to enforce their decisions
Unfair and Deceptive
Marketing Practices
• An advertisement or communication is
deceptive or misleading if:
– a substantial number of people or typical person
is left with false impression or misrepresentation.
– the misrepresentation induces people or the
typical person to make a purchase.
Deception versus Puffery
• Puffery
– An exaggerated statement
– Not factual statement
• Claim is a factual statement
• Puffery statements include
– Best, greatest, and finest
– Better – puffery or claim?
• Papa John’s – “Better ingredients, better pizza”
• Hunt’s – “Only the best tomatoes grow up to be Hunt’s”
• Progresso – “Discover the better taste of Progresso”
Deception versus Puffery
Ad making a claim. Ad using puffery?
Substantiation of Claims
• Claim or promise must be substantiated
• Endorser must be truthful
• Must represent endorser’s personal
experience or opinion
• Expert endorsement must be based on
legitimate tests
To substantiate its claim that
Kleenex is softer the company
conducted touch tests
involving consumers.
Substantiating that Kleenex is
“made with 24% more
cottony, soft fiber,” as the ad
claims, would require some
type of lab test.
Principles
Substantiation of Claims
• Consumers read ads broadly
• Evidence must be for actual product
• Evidence from accepted experts
• FTC and courts will consider totality of evidence

• Businesses
• Congress
• Media
Complaints can be lodged by any of the following
FTC Actions

guilt
2. Administrative complaint
 Filed if no consent order agreement
 Formal proceeding
 Administrative judge
 Both sides submit evidence

Children’s Advertising Review Unit

F I G U R E 1 4 . 4
CARU Guidelines forAdvertising to Children
• Ads for toys should not create unreasonable
expectation
• Toys should look and act as they would if a child
was playing with it
• Ads should not blur between fantasy and reality
• Ads should have clear and visible disclosures about
what items come with a toy what do not
• Items that require adult supervision must be shown
with adults supervising the child
• Products and ad content should be appropriate for
children
