Description:
|
Advertisements for sport products often utilize subjective claims about product characteristics and features to differentiate products from those of their competitors. As a result, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and National Advertising Division (NAD) have investigated multiple sport companies for false advertising claims. The results of this study will identify which sport brand claims are most inclined to review by the FTC/NAD. |
