What forms can deceptive advertising claims take?


Deceptive advertising can be obvious and not-so-obvious. Obvious, or "express," claims must be truthful as to the product's qualities and appearance. Suggested, or "implied," claims are misleading messages that consumers are led to believe. Some ads are literally true but deceptive because of what they don't say. Endorsements and testimonials must reflect honest opinions or findings of the endorser.
