§ 113050 Misleading Labeling And Ads

Key Takeaways

  • •Labels and ads can't trick you by hiding important facts or making things seem better than they are.
  • •If something is missing important info that could hurt you, it's considered misleading.
  • •Even if they don't lie directly, leaving out big details can still be against the rules.

Example

A toy ad shows kids flying high on a trampoline but doesn't mention it can break easily and cause injuries.

The ad is misleading because it hides the fact that the trampoline might not be safe, which could hurt kids who use it.

§ 113050 Misleading Labeling And Ads

If an article is alleged to be misbranded because the labeling is misleading, or if an advertisement is alleged to be false because it is misleading, then in determining whether the labeling or advertisement is misleading, there shall be taken into account, among other things, not only misrepresentations made or suggested by statement, word, design, device, sound, or in any combination thereof, but also the extent to which the labeling or advertisement fails to reveal facts material in the light of representations or material with respect to consequences that may result from the use of the article to which the labeling or advertisement relates under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling or advertisement thereof or under conditions of use as are customary or usual. (Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 415, Sec. 6. Effective January 1, 1996.)
