Fastart Corporation makes batteries for motor vehicles. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) learns that Gas-Up Auto Parts Stores, a retail company that sells Fastart's batteries, engages in deceptive advertising practices. What actions can the FTC take against Quantum?


The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) can investigate the prob-lem, and if, after the investigation, it believes that Gas-Up has engaged in deceptive advertising, it can send a formal complaint to the al¬leged of¬fender. Gas-Up may agree to a settlement. If not, the FTC can conduct a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). If the FTC succeeds in proving that Gas-Up's ads are deceptive, it can issue a cease-and-desist order that requires the advertising to stop. It might also im¬pose a coun¬teradvertising sanction, requiring Gas-Up to issue new ads—in print, on ra¬dio, and on television—to inform the public about the earlier misinformation.
